The Burr



The dreaded bracken is more often a positive asset to the site than otherwise. On mornings like this it sparkles in the sun and provides a specatuclar setting for any wildlife that happens along. This spot is now in direct sunlight at this time of year before 7 am so it's more appealing when the wind cuts through from the north. The young stag has a clear burr on his forehead from which the first sign of new antlers developing can be seen. Some who lost their old ones earlier are a bit more advanced.
