Deer conflict

[Anthony]

I visited Richmond Deer Park (south west of London) last week to photograph the deer rut. I was hoping for some stag conflict, but the only intruder was a junior male who was seen off fairly easily. Still, I was happy to catch some action.

Wonderful! You certainly captured the "Action"!

Nice work Anthony.
Love the third one

Great photographs, Anthony. The third one is my favourite, too.

Must agree.

Thanks, all, for your kind comments.

I did manage to capture one "fight" but it was just two young males sparring with no hostile intent. After a minute they decided to hang out together in an amicable fashion. Maybe the fight will be serious in a couple of years.
