Red Deer Stag resting before the Autumn rut...................Tatton Park Cheshire

A few images of a Red Deer Stag... resting in the morning sunshine.

I came across this big fella all on his own as I emerged from a wooded area of the parkland.

He hardly gave me a glance as I snapped away...

...but was letting everyone know he was around with his bellowing.
I can't go back until the weekend... hopefully there will be a bit more action to watch.

Fabulous shots of the resting guy - glad he paid you no mind. Those antlers are huge! I bet he was calling to let the girls know he's available.
