Smaller scattered populations can be found in the north of England, north Midlands, East Anglia and in Wales. They are also found in deer parks throughout the UK.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Size<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Adults vary from 110-140cm tall at the shoulder and weigh 65-190kg. Males are larger than females.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Diet<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Grasses, heather, bilberries, dwarf shrubs, tree shoots and bark, as well as seaweed in coastal areas.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Rut<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Breeding season occurs each year from late September to November.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Population<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Approximately 350,000.<\/p>\n<p>Red deer are active throughout the day and night, with peak activity around dawn and dusk. Adult males and females form separate groups for most of the year, but come together during the annual rut. Only adult males have antlers, which grow each year at the start of spring and are shed at the end of winter.<\/p>\n\n<h2>Habitat<\/h2>\n<p>The greatest numbers of red deer are found on the open moorlands and hills of the Scottish Highlands and Islands. They can also be found in treeless areas in the north and south-west of England, as well as parts of Ireland. Elsewhere in the British Isles they can be found in woodland and farmland fringes, heathland, conifer plantations and deer parks.<\/p>\n\t\t<div id=&quot;attachment_62626&quot;  class=\"c-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 420px\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/potrait-deer.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-62626\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/potrait-deer.jpg\" alt=\"Red Deer\" width=\"400\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2015\/10\/potrait-deer.jpg 400w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2015\/10\/potrait-deer.jpg?resize=300,450 300w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2015\/10\/potrait-deer.jpg?resize=267,400 267w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a>\t\t\t<p class=\"c-caption__text\">Red deer have a very actue sense of sight, hearing and smell.<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<h2>Best time to shoot<\/h2>\n<p>The two best times for photographing red deer are during the rut in late September to November and during the winter months, particularly when there is snow on the ground. The annual rut is one of the highlights of the wildlife calendar in Britain. During \u2028the rut, the stags and hinds come together, with the stags seeking to defend their harems of hinds against competing males for the right to breed. The deers\u2019 behaviour during the rut presents many photographic opportunities.<\/p>\n<h2>Shooting advice<\/h2>\n\t\t<div id=&quot;attachment_62624&quot;  class=\"c-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 620px\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/amason_ukbr_071009_0014.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-62624\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/amason_ukbr_071009_0014.jpg\" alt=\"Amason Ukbr\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2015\/10\/amason_ukbr_071009_0014.jpg 600w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2015\/10\/amason_ukbr_071009_0014.jpg?resize=300,200 300w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2015\/10\/amason_ukbr_071009_0014.jpg?resize=562,375 562w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a>\t\t\t<p class=\"c-caption__text\">A 70-200mm lens is handy for wider environmental shots of red deer.<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<h3>Fieldcraft<\/h3>\n<p>Truly wild red deer are, in most circumstances, incredibly wary of humans. Photographing them requires a very high level \u2028of fieldcraft. However, for many centuries they have been kept in deer parks throughout the UK. While still wild, the deer in parks have become accustomed to humans, making it far easier to photograph them.<\/p>\n<h3>The rut<\/h3>\n<p>During the rut, deer tend to favour certain locations and, once you\u2019ve identified, these, the best time of day and position to photograph from can be established. While photographing a bellowing stag in early-morning mist backlit in golden light is high on most photographers\u2019 lists, there are many other images that can be made during the rut. Look for fights between rival stags and experiment with different shutter speeds for these clashes. Stags make excellent silhouettes.<\/p>\n\t\t<div id=&quot;attachment_62631&quot;  class=\"c-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 620px\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/rut.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-62631\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/rut.jpg\" alt=\"Red Deer\" width=\"600\" height=\"399\" srcset=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2015\/10\/rut.jpg 600w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2015\/10\/rut.jpg?resize=300,200 300w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2015\/10\/rut.jpg?resize=562,374 562w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a>\t\t\t<p class=\"c-caption__text\">The annual rut is one of the highlights of the wildlife calander.<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<h3>Winter<\/h3>\n<p>During the winter months, particularly during periods of prolonged snow (as food becomes more difficult to find), red deer may become less wary of humans in their search for food. They will also come down to lower levels to feed, and may come close to roads in certain moorland areas.<\/p>\n<h3>Safety<\/h3>\n<p>All red deer, even those in deer parks, are wild animals and should always be treated with the utmost respect and caution.<\/p>\n<p>During the rut, stags are pumped full of testosterone and can be particularly dangerous. Hinds give birth to their calves at the beginning of summer and are highly protective of their offspring.<\/p>\n<h2>kit list<\/h2>\n<h3>Clothing<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Jacket.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-62625\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Jacket.jpg\" alt=\"Jacket\" width=\"300\" height=\"468\" srcset=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2015\/10\/Jacket.jpg 300w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2015\/10\/Jacket.jpg?resize=256,400 256w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>If attempting to stalk and photograph truly wild deer outside deer parks, you\u2019ll require clothing made out of \u2018silent fabrics\u2019 that are muted in colour.

She is formerly editor of Advnture.com and deputy editor of Mountain Biking UK magazine and jumps at the chance to swim somewhere slightly muddy and remote, no matter how cold the water.","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/iswim.likeagirl\/"],"url":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/author\/roseewoodland\/"}]}},"acf":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2015\/10\/amason-ukbr.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-05-20 11:56:26","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"category","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/62614","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/323"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=62614"}],"version-history":[{"count":10,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/62614\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":62692,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/62614\/revisions\/62692"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/62623"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=62614"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=62614"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=62614"},{"taxonomy":"product-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product-category?post=62614"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
