Here are a few shots of the ever so impressive and athletic red deer taken at Blair Atholl estate in Perthshire, Scotland. I have a number of favourites however, the array of antlers peering over the top is my top pick.

Thank you Lauramacky. There were hundreds around but mostly in the far distance that’s when a long lens comes in handy to give you that extra reach.

Totally agree laura, it has taken me far too long to fully appreciate nature. Better late than never I suppose.
