This is the Red Stag that featured in my first post in this series from a recent session in Bushy Park. He was protecting a harem of around 20 hinds who were generally very docile but one individual (see below) obviously didn't appreciate the ferocity of his tone!
The next stag was frequenting the area around the pond without any hinds in tow and occasionally reacted to the other calls he heard.
that's gotta be a tough way to live...
