A News & Star Camera Club photographer has captured images of what is believed to be England's oldest red deer herd at Martindale.
A photographer from the News & Star Camera Club has captured striking images of what is believed to be England's oldest red deer herd during a visit to Martindale this past weekend. Martindale is located between Ullswater and Haweswater in the Westmorland & Furness Council area.
Breaca said her 'lens was put to the test' as she had to capture the herd from a distance she is not accustomed to. The photographs show a stag amongst the doe, with the stag sending up a call amongst the animals. Breaca observed 'lots of larger stags chasing younger chancers away'.
To achieve her shots, the photographer climbed up rocks to get a view of both groups of stags with their hinds. She described the bellowing of the stags as 'simply primal' and called the experience 'a very unexpected opportunity' and 'simply magical'.
Breaca said she 'loved every second' spent watching the deer's behaviour during her visit to the Martindale site.
