I recently visited Richmond Park for the annual deer rut as I have done for the past few years.  Unfortunately I did not witness any rutting and had to make do with lots of bellowing and a few chases, which was a bonus.  I do enjoy the way in which the deer blend in with the long grass, it certainly makes way for some impressive pictures.
