Nearly "That" Time Once Again - Safari Update

The year moves on, Summer is slowly turning into Autumn and that can mean only one thing - the Rut is nearly upon us!

It was fairly quiet out and about when I went to check the rutting area, but this magnificent fella was staking an early claim

The ladies and last year's youngsters were mooching around as well, keeping an eye on us

More will start to drift in over the next few days as things start to get busier.  We normally like to see a few cold nights to kick things off, but the forecast is more soggy than frosty

But rest assured, the players are all in place :-)

  • Lol! Forum software being helpful I guess. Good to see the message got through to the magnificent chaps and that the occasional murky weather didn't stop them showing

    Mr WJ asked me to pose nicely for you so I hope this is nice enough, I thought I'd frame myself  as well for that arty look

    Good to see they posed nicely for you!
    There was still plenty of activity this past weekend, though clearly this lady wasn't pleased with the chap's technique and decided she should show him how to perform!
    With instruction, he's got it right now.  Not sure if the tongue sticking out is a show of concentration or some sort of additional stimulation!
    I think some of the deer are getting a bit miffed at us though, there's a definite "Oh, it's YOU lot again" look on this stag's face, though it was extremely soggy that day, so hardly surprising he looks a bit grumpy!
  • lol, his concentrating, his tongue is sticking out, not sure that is likely to impress though
