Mainly Mammals

 They are given names, marks that stand out to identify them. They are as wild as you get and go where they please. They will hop over a 5ft fence or wall at ease to get to the other side. Arfur is a boys name though,,,, I will have a think lol.

My last trip up for this years rut on the Eastern Moors this morning. Still quite a lot going on and the stag bolving was chasing away two other stags trying to steal his hinds.

Thanks ILR. It's been a lovely month but I spend a lot of time with them and there is so much more going on up there with the moorland birds and other wildlife. Heading further west I think for a while and maybe see some mountain hares. I only have two photos of them from the same day and not with the white winter coat. . It's also a very busy time up there with photographers at the moment for the rut and I do like to find a quiet spot to walk.

Hi Bob I have not seen this post before and deleted my reply to your photos thinking these photos were from paul at the top of this page. Confused .com These photos are fabulous Bob and really look wild and natural to the enviroment. As you know I am a big fan of your Hare and Deer photos thanks for sharing them with us.

Wonderful Bob. Always enjoy seeing your photos from on the moors ...

Ta BD.

Really lovely photos Bob in such a natural setting looking very autumnal with those beautiful colours.  

A gang of three red deer up in the Peaks this morning. Not been up there since the rut quietened down 7 weeks ago. All in the same pose unfortunately, I feel a strongly worded letter to Eastern Moors coming on re posing for the camera 

These are cracking shots bob
