Weekend just gone I was out with a friend to explore some new woods.
Whilst stopping for lunch guess what walked into our camp - a stag!
Pretty amazing encounter, as you can imagine. There it was, just a few feet away, a full grown stag! The rutting season has obviously made them a bit bolder.
We sat there staring at each other, all three of us stock still. My camera was out of arm's reach and I knew if I went for it the stag would run. Then I remembered the mobile phone in my pocket, so I eased it out and managed to get off a couple of shots before the animal bolted.
