Young Red Deer in the Rain and Cold.
Early in the morning during a rainstorm in the freezing cold. I stumbled upon this beautiful young Red Deer male. Eye to eye we stood. We could hear the rain clattering around us and felt an icy wind. We were clearly impressed with each other. It was a special encounter.
Red deer are imposing and stately. This young male proved that. You can see nicely the swollen throat pouch. That's because this photo was taken during the rutting period.
In this photo you can clearly see how regal the young animals already appear. Even when it is raining hard and windy as you can see in this picture.
