Decibels, please!


No chance of a quiet Sunday morning with the Baron in this mood. Some of his bellows were of a quality and volume that would have gained him a full house at Covent Garden. But with the extra ingredients of being earth-born and untutored. Other stags were wandering round but he had chosen his spot well, on a mound where the hinds were grazing in the copse. One of the less experienced young stags made a brief move forwards but was seen off more by volume than brawn.


 The Baron moved from one side to the other looking for a chance to prove himself. 


The only other stag who might have made a sporting challenge was wisely biding his time further off.



One of the hinds on the edge of the group looked particularly elegant. After a while she was joined by a young calf. This picture of wild deer suckling was the first I’ve been able to get.
