Stag party...




On the way back from our trip to the Cluanie Inn we drove through Fort Augustus and skirted Loch Tarff. Just managed to spot this stag with several of his hinds on the hillside beyond the loch. Ray dropped me off and waited in the car some way ahead as it was quite a busy stretch of road. For a long time the stag had his head down intent on eating when fortunately two cars passed and for some reason tooted their car horns which not only made my day and also made the stag raise his head and look directly at me and the camera. After a while he seemed to get slightly agitated and snorting loudly he rushed to protect his 'girls' and I rushed to the warmth of our car.
