Richmond deer

It's been a fair few weeks since I last posted anything, that's mostly due to me trying 4-5 weeks in a row to photograph the Corn Buntings at Pitstone Hill. It's funny how as soon as you bring a camera no bird wants to show itself, I didn't even see one in the weeks let alone get the opportunity to photograph one. Last week I decided to scrap that idea and have a day of photographing the deer at Richmond Park. October is the perfect time to go, the leaves are turning an orangy, brown and falling to the floor whilst the morning become more blue, misty. This is also the rutting season were you can watch the bucks or stags claim different  does and defend their territory by locking their antlers and fighting till one submits or is injured. I enjoy watching this and capturing it but unfortunately today no fights occurred whilst I was watching. But they did seem to be active. Most of the day was spent walking around following the deer but I obtained a few shots but nothing special.
