The Red Deer Rut has to be one of the UK's most spectacular wildlife events. But near Sheffield?

In this weeks video I go to a place I only recently discovered to capture film and images of the Red Deer rut. I would normally head to the Scottish highlands to witness and photography this spectacle. However, last year that changed when the covid pandemic lead to reduced travel. It was only by searching on line I discovered images of the red deer rut taken at a place called Big Moor just to the west of Sheffield. Intrigued I headed off up there and managed to catch the back end of the rut. This year I return much earlier to try and capture the behaviour of these wonderful animals. As I say in this video please remember these are not park animals used to the encroachment of humans. For the safety of yourself and the deer please use your common sense and stay at a sensible distance.
