Had to go to Dunstable today so called into Woburn to see how the Red deer were progressing getting ready for the yearly rut . This happens towards the end of September or early October.
Although some of the stags were still shedding the velvet from their antlers a few of the more dominant stags had already done so and were looking in good shape. The odd mock battle was also taking place.

Although the light was quite bad I managed a few shots I was pleased with.
All the shots were taken from the footpaths, something to remember if you decide to visit to witness the rut in a month or so's time. I've often witnessed photographers spooking the deer by leaving the footpaths to get a better angle. The animals welfare should always come first especially as a road runs though the middle of the park.
