The Rising Sun Star

I hadn't seen this fella for more than 6 months and i had been worried for him a month or two back. Having spoken to a couple of people back then and heard that he had been sighted i was relieved. Although i primarily go birding when out and about, having seen this magnificent beast before, i can only describe him as the star at the Rising Sun Country Park. He is a Red Deer stag and must stand over 2 metres to his antlers.
I captured these images at 5.10 p.m. this afternoon so the excuses are being made as i had to bump up the iso. I will however get some stunners one day. Just look and enjoy.

    Hi Davy,
    Thats why i always wonder about him. If i haven't spotted him for a while i tend to think the "mongers" have done something nasty to him.
    Howdy Dick,
    You never know when he will appear but he brings everyone to a standstill when he does. He's even more stunning in his summer coat. Just while i think on , i was looking at your football work. Excellent.
    Cheers lads.
    John

    Brilliant photos John. The stag is a gorgeous animal! I hope he keeps himself safe for a long, long time.

    (I spotted you on Greenfingers post i.e. Phil)
