- By The Rigg in Mardale, with Haweswater Reservoir in the background
-
- All smiles in anticipation of our bloodless deer hunt
-
- Getting closer to our secret red-deer hideaway
-
- And there it was, full of red deer, with the roars of the rutting stags reverberating throughout the entire area
-
- The stags were magnificent, treating us to an orchestra of booming bellows
-
- There were herds of red deer all around us
-
- Reluctantly leaving the red-deer hideaway
-
- Mission accomplished, with no animals disturbed or upset in any way
-
- Casting the final glance at the red-deer country
-
- Another magnificent stag strutting his stuff
-
- These magnificent stags treated us to an orchestra of roars
-
- The deer rut in full swing in the hideaway known to very few!
-
- More red deer observed on the moderate walk on October 18th
