Hearing a distant roar he decided to respond, first in one direction ....
..... and then in the other.
His constant barking was heard by a Doe that had become seperated from his harem.
She very quickly responded ......
by returning to her rightful place and then peace ensued until the next time. FAB.
Terrific series, Frank! What beautiful animals.

ReplyDeleteSuper pictures of the Red Deer. A neighbour of mine went house sitting on the edge of Kielder Forest and saw Red Deer in the adjacent field. I might pop over one day to see if I can kind them.

Hi Jann. I'd love to see and photograph some Elk sometime.
Your recent posts are varied and interesting - like the jackdaws - the harem protection, the grebes, and the osprey - what a recovery they have made from egg collectors and DDT..
