The fellow to the right of the tree is my old friend previously dubbed the Blacka unicorn. As I suspected his right side antler is absent. But there's more to see than that. He's actually got over his right eye something black looking initially like a piece of ribbon. I thought I had seen this more than a month ago and it's still there. Perhaps after all it is a broken antler or one grown at an odd angle. It will take a good view with the binoculars to sort out just what it is.
More close looking needed in the view below. Many people walk along Blacka's paths unaware of the presence of red deer although there are now far more sightings than previously. The stag in the picture below is so well camouflaged that it's understandable that they frequently go unseen.
