I was going to share some pictures of some of the stags today but looking through my pictures I couldn't resist posting some more of the new generation, they're so flipping cute.
It was such a treat to get up close and get these images I am so lucky.
Some people might think that getting up at 3 am on a cold and wet Monday is madness but actually it was totally worth it, I had a great time and I had no trouble getting up and I didn't mind how wet it was at times.
I had hoped to see deer (which I did) but I was also hoping to see some Brown Hares (and I did). They are normally quite shy and if you visit Brockholes during the day you are unlikely to see them but at dawn they seem to be totally at ease as you can see from these shots. They were full of life and energy and although I didn't see them boxing (something they do in March/April) they seemed to be having fun chasing each other around.
