This is one from a nice sequence that was rendered all but useless by the dreary conditions. A good looking stag looking after 3 hind and roaring to his heart's content. He was periodically accompanied by up to 4 jackdaws that took turn using him as a bird feeder.

The Jackdaw makes this shot stand out. Well captured in less than ideal conditions.

Like Phil says, I think they look better in lower light levels - nice cap

Thanks for the comments. I know what you mean about the conditions, but would prefer a little more light, contrast and punch to bring out the autumn colours. Will be going back tomorrow for another go. For anyone who's bored at work, I've just updated my website with a "Latest Work" gallery with the Africa, deer, and water voles from the past few weeks

Major.

Maybe a touch tight at the bottom, if i'm being picky, but an added bonus with the jackdaw.

Great work - the addition of the Jackdaw makes this special.
