Fallow Deer buck at dawn, Petworth Park.

The Golden Hour.

I was busy photographing the Red Deer at Bushy Park with the morning light shining on them and turned around to look towards the sunrise just in time to capture this moment. You can see why it's often referred to as the 'golden hour'! This is one of my favourite deer photos.

Sometimes it's worth going for a walk alone, or in silence. I notice so much more this way, walking at a much slower speed than usual. You're less likely to scare off the local wildlife and sometimes, if you're lucky, you get wonderful moments like this. We looked at each other for a few seconds. Slowly I raised up the camera to my eye and only had time to snap two shots (wide angle lens) before it turned and walked away. It was extra special for me because it happened the day before we went into a national lockdown.

Not Seeing Eye to Eye.

Observing the annual deer rut in the autumn is a wonderful wildlife experience. These two Fallow Deer bucks couldn't see each other when they went head to head, as they dipped their head and crashed into each other with their antlers. Each one was trying to ascert dominance over the other.

It's not every day you witness two Red Deer hinds leading a fawn across a pond.. This was a very special moment and not that far away from where I was sitting.
