A pictorial diary of my walks around the parks and wild areas of Leicestershire, and occasionally farther afield.

If you're new to my blog, you might like to have a look at the pictures in the older post as well (click on button at the bottom of the page).

I am also a writer, using the pen-name John Gwynant, and I'll occasionally announce my latest book release on the blog.

More Deer at Bradgate park - 1 November 2011

I make no excuses for going back to Bradgate park again, I was hoping to catch the last of the Rut. But Although we heard a few calls there was no fighting and we think the Rut is finished.



It didn't stop me finding some pictures though and this Fallow Deer Stag looked worn out, but later he got up and started feeding.


It was a long time before he raised his head so I could get a picture.



Another stag came close but there was no antagonism, so I guess that shows the rut is over.




The Reds were further into the park close to the bridge opposite Lady Jane Gray's house. This one was standing guard over his ladies and was unchallenged another indication that we won't get any more rut pictures this year.




These deer were grazing on the side of Lady Jane's House.
