Though more than one young calf has been around since summer this one has caught the eye most. He has a a certain poise that marks him out from the others. I say 'he' because there's something about him, maybe the nose or the spacing of the ears or even the way he looks at you; still I could be quite wrong.
The 'family group' phase may now have passed. In the dark hour before sunrise a larger collection of hinds could just be discerned still with the one stag, who it's tempting to call a hart. Traditionally he should be at least 5 years old to deserve the name.
