Monarch Of The Glen

One of our friends works for the Ullswater Steamers. One of his chores is to guide groups on the 'Red Deer Rut' trip that they offer. On his day off, he very kindly offered to take us for a private viewing. Rose, Nick's wife is on holiday this week, which meant we could all go.

You'll need to double click on these, Red Deer and Bracken are a very similar colour! Once we started to spot deer, we gradually found more, and more, and more; here a stag (on the left) is surrounded by about half a dozen hinds
Stags were roaring from all around. An unbelievably evocative sound as it echoes around the valley.
