Just a little catch up!

He was well pissed of.

Getting up early is a real pain when it is cold and raining, but it has it's benefits, especially when the Red Deer Stags are giving it a bit of what for. The dull lighting and low temperature really gives some atmosphere to the shots that present themselves, a high ISO of 1600 and fill in flash at -2ev contributes to the feeling.

Mind you, could really have done without the darned rain. But again it all adds to the feel of the moment.

And of course they do look a little more intimidating in the wet, with the mud from a recent wallow adding texture to thier coats.

Somehow this  Pricket, on the left only just managed to avoid a good pasting at the hands of the three or four year old stag. Which had took umbridge, that the Pricket had ventured to close to the females and got sent on his way in no uncertain terms. The fact that he crapped himself  might point to the fear shown, think I might have as well!!

And finally to round of this catch up, could anyone, other than a Mother Coot love a little mongrel such as this?? doe's not quite come into the cute brackets doe's it?

There will be another update as soon as I can get it done, but with so many in the back log it might be a little while. I hope you enjoyed your visit and don't forget you can comment on any of the articles in the blog.

Cheers
