Six different red deer stags doing what red deer stags do. Bolving, lip licking, looking a bit silly, posing, relaxing and staring.

Wow, that's a magical series of clips Bob, thank you for sharing! Sorry Linda, I'm popping round Bob's for my net hols

I have rarely been that close to deer, except for muntjac. Great video Bob

Lol. Always welcome to go see the reds PB. I think we'll have snow in the next couple of months and like you say, that will be magical to see them then.

In the woods in the Peaks they are great. I go paths less worn so it makes it really special like the first bolving stag. Short eared owls there too and kestrels taking advantage of the up draft to hover. TBH my favourite place especially early when it's just you and them.

He`s a big fella, great video Bob.
