Red deer.. hind and stags at leighton moss rspb

**andy b** · 16-05-2008, 10:40 PM

it was a delight to see these red deer today at leighton moss rspb reserve. there were three stags sat at ease on the edge of the reed bed. a hind was just to on side but sat in the reeds. she later came out for a stretch and a clean.

Lovely photos Andrew.
I'm hoping to see these when I go up to Yateley later this year at Moor Green Lakes nature reserve

Andy I'm trying not to go over the top with my diplomacy here, but would you consider your 'deer' to be Red?

yes quite right. a freudian slip on my part. i had made afew errors that night whilst posting my other threads. i had asked rolf to correct an earlier post.
i had typed in stags and hinds ( red deer) rather than bucks and does ( roe deer) though why i posted them as roe is anyones guess. i was half watching tv as i was on't computer. apologies for my mistake, though it was merely a typing error and not an id one.
if rolf would be so kind as to correct this for me , thanks

Merlin Regular Member Info Real name: Pete Location: N W England Gallery: 6 Equipment: Nothing but my notebook which is one of the most important parts of birding. To go out without it (which I only ever did once) is like going out without your pants on. I've never understood why I responded to the 'Cameras and Equipment' question in this way because in reality I own a Leica Telescope with eyepieces, Zeiss Binoculars, and a Manfrotto Tripod all of which cost a positive fortune.
