I was up before the sun this morning, as I wanted to go out and take pictures of the deer. It’s that time of the year when they start to get all frisky and the males fight for dominance.

Driving through the woods and the half-light lanes, I saw plenty. Sometimes in ones and twos – often a mother and one of this year’s offspring – and at times running through the trees in a large group, stopping only momentarily to poke their heads up and stare at me as I crouched in the long grass some distance away.

The best pictures of the morning, though, were the pheasants fighting in a field a couple of miles from home. I had to knock up the ISO and EV, so the pictures are grainy, but it was an impressive display in the flesh.
