'Ever seen the majestic sight of two male #Sambar locking antlers in a fierce battle? 🦌🤔 The clash of antlers echoed the primal rhythm of the #ruttingseason . Nature's way of determining #dominance and securing #mating rights. #WildlifeEncounter #Nature '

The one shot that I didn’t realise I had taken 🥴 Found it today whilst preparing a competition entry in which I need to submit a series of images - this one has now become one of those images 🤞
For anyone wondering, the one closest is a Monarch Stag ☺️

Never thought I'd be so delighted by a man with his dinner stuck to his face dropping me a wink (wait for the end!) - what a little charmer #datacollection #ruttingseason #damadama #fallowdeer

A young male deer strolling through Richmond Park.

Best viewed large to see his sunlit chin hairs.
