Red Stag

[Mike Poole]

I like to try and get an entry in for the theme, so here's one from 2 years ago. The stag was rounding up his harem in low but harsh sun. I noticed how the breath was showing nicely and was hoping for a full on head back roar. Sadly he didn't play ball on this occasion, but the red nostrils never fail to amuse me when they breathe heavily.

This is pre BPN membership, no no telling me off for using too low an ISO!
