They are more southerly based than red deer and are herd deer. The bucks have spatulate antlers that they grow throughout the summer in preparation for the rut in autumn.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Location<\/strong> Widespread across England and Wales, with their presence starting to get patchier in Scotland.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Size<\/strong> Adult males can weigh up to 96kg, while females are quite a bit smaller at 56kg.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Nesting<\/strong> Fallow deer make use of open spaces only once dark, with their peak activity at dawn and dusk. Daytime is spent \u2018lying up\u2019, where they lie down to ruminate.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Diet<\/strong> These deer are grazing animals and browse grass and trees, having a particular love of acorns and sweet chestnuts.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Population<\/strong> There are estimated to be around 100,000 fallow deer across the UK.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The ancestors of the fallow deer we see today date back to the 11th century, during the time William the Conqueror who kept these animals \u2018for the chase\u2019. Many of our royal forests were created to preserve these deer. During the past 500 years, fallow deer have been bred as living ornaments to adorn large Capability Brown-inspired estates and we now have white and black as well as the normal fawn-coloured deer in many parks.<\/p>\n<h1>Habitat<\/h1>\n<p>There are a number of deer parks around England and a quick search on the web should show you where the nearest one is to you. Fallow deer rut in September and October, and it is during this time that the best images can be created. Each buck, with its spatulate antlers, defends a small area called a stand. Here it will parade, bark at and chase or fight any rival males.<\/p>\n<p>Dawn is the best time to encounter this behaviour, but I suggest you walk the area a few days before you photograph. Learn where the deer are and perfect your stalking skills. Then, on your chosen day (ones with clear sky and cold air are best), arrive before dawn and get into position as the sun rises above the skyline.<\/p>\n\t\t<div id=&quot;attachment_98338&quot;  class=\"c-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1020px\">\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-98338 size-full\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Paul-Hobson-Fallow-Deer-among-bracken.jpg\" alt=\"Paul Hobson Fallow Deer among bracken\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" srcset=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2016\/12\/Paul-Hobson-Fallow-Deer-among-bracken.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2016\/12\/Paul-Hobson-Fallow-Deer-among-bracken.jpg?resize=300,200 300w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2016\/12\/Paul-Hobson-Fallow-Deer-among-bracken.jpg?resize=600,400 600w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2016\/12\/Paul-Hobson-Fallow-Deer-among-bracken.jpg?resize=900,600 900w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2016\/12\/Paul-Hobson-Fallow-Deer-among-bracken.jpg?resize=562,375 562w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/>\t\t\t<p class=\"c-caption__text\">You don&#8217;t always need to show the whole animal.

A slow, cautious approach is always best. Watch and learn how the deer react as you move in closer. Keep your camera out, on its tripod and work in at an oblique angle while keeping an eye on the deer. If they begin to look nervous and keep staring at you, back off a bit.<\/p>\n<p>Once you are in position, kneeling down can help increase the deer\u2019s confidence &#8211; this is where a warm pair of waterproof trousers comes in very handy. Wind direction should be considered, but often you have no choice as there might be only one direction you can approach from and the deer should be able to see you at all times. Remember these deer are used to seeing and smelling people. Full head-to- toe camo gear and creeping through the bracken are a bit over the top in a well-walked park.<\/p>\n\t\t<div id=&quot;attachment_98340&quot;  class=\"c-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1020px\">\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-98340 size-full\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Paul-Hobson-Fallow-Deer-in-dawn-light.jpg\" alt=\"Paul Hobson fallow deer in dawn light\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" srcset=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2016\/12\/Paul-Hobson-Fallow-Deer-in-dawn-light.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2016\/12\/Paul-Hobson-Fallow-Deer-in-dawn-light.jpg?resize=300,200 300w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2016\/12\/Paul-Hobson-Fallow-Deer-in-dawn-light.jpg?resize=600,400 600w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2016\/12\/Paul-Hobson-Fallow-Deer-in-dawn-light.jpg?resize=900,600 900w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2016\/12\/Paul-Hobson-Fallow-Deer-in-dawn-light.jpg?resize=562,375 562w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/>\t\t\t<p class=\"c-caption__text\">Dawn light is great for backlighting your subject<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<h2>Focal length<\/h2>\n<p>If you are approaching a stand, keep back rather than march in. The best lens is the biggest \u2013 I would recommend a minimum focal length of 300mm and, if possible, use a converter. Always keep space around the deer in your image, as things can change fast. If you see another buck approaching, anticipate a fight so leave space for two deer comfortably within your framing.<\/p>\n<p>You also need to choose your position. Do you want front-lit shots in lovely light or backlit images showing the steam from their breath at dawn? If you choose backlit moody images, then try underexposing by a stop or two and turn up the white balance to saturate the lovely dawn light. Always be aware of your ISO, speed and f-stop. As a rule, I always shoot wide open. If you are working on a fight sequence make sure that the speed is high \u2013 say, around 1\/500sec or faster.<\/p>\n\t\t<div id=&quot;attachment_98341&quot;  class=\"c-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1020px\">\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-98341 size-full\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Paul-Hobson-Fallow-Deer-roaring.jpg\" alt=\"Paul Hobson fallow deer roaring\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" srcset=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2016\/12\/Paul-Hobson-Fallow-Deer-roaring.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2016\/12\/Paul-Hobson-Fallow-Deer-roaring.jpg?resize=300,200 300w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2016\/12\/Paul-Hobson-Fallow-Deer-roaring.jpg?resize=600,400 600w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2016\/12\/Paul-Hobson-Fallow-Deer-roaring.jpg?resize=900,600 900w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2016\/12\/Paul-Hobson-Fallow-Deer-roaring.jpg?resize=562,375 562w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/>\t\t\t<p class=\"c-caption__text\">Tight framing can emphasise key moments of the rut, such as the roaring of a buck<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<h1>Kit list<\/h1>\n<h3>Waterproof trousers<\/h3>\n<p>Warm waterproof trousers with knee and bottom pads are ideal.

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\/2016\/12\/Paul-Hobson-Fallow-Deer-bellowing.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-04-19 09:38:08","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\/98335","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=98335"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/98335\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":101306,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/98335\/revisions\/101306"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/98339"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=98335"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=98335"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=98335"},{"taxonomy":"product-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product-category?post=98335"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
