Big Buck

I saw Big Buck and all his does resting quite near the road as I drove through Epping Green on the way to Epping. I got my kit ready before I left town and had planned to pull over and take a shot on the way home. Unfortunately as I did a delivery lorry reversed beeping into a drive near where the deer were and spooked them. It was quite a large herd. My image is of Big Buck and few of his does heading for Parndon Wood. What wonderful palmate antlers he has.
