Camper van trip to Exmoor. {Pt1}
Returning to our campsite and as the light was starting to drop we spotted a herd of Red Deer young Stags (males) and Hinds (females). From the lane, they were interested in us as much as we were in them after a good look at each other they moved off back into the woodland.

Red Deer are the UK’s largest deer. Males have large, branching antlers, increasing in size as they get older. The Stags spotted are young animals given he had fairly small non-branching antlers. Red Deer live on moorland and mountainsides, as well as grasslands near to woodland. They are common in Scotland, particularly the Highlands and Islands. Red Deer are also found in the Lake District, Exmoor, as well as the New Forest.






I envy all the deer you see on your ventures into the woods. The hunting seasons here scare the deer so much – they keep out of sight of humans. I seldom get a chance to photograph a deer.

Their red coats are quite prominent. They were interested in you in the first few pics … all standing at attention and watching you.
