Ashridge is a great place to watch the fallow deer rut, especially if you know where to watch from. On this occassion watched two bucks clash together with antlers locked, releasing, some times strutting along side each other before clashing again. Finally after about 15 mins one of the bucks conceded and moved quickly away.
Despite the sunshine, the light conditions and distance of the deer was not great for my camera and wish I could have captured more of the rut in action but hope to improve in future visits.
On returning to my car noticed some bucks together not embroiled in the rut. This buck was aware of my presence but was in no hurry to move away but eventually moved of the track into the woodland.
Followed shortly after by these two bucks following one after the other before joining the former.
