PIC BY MARK BRIDGER / CATERS NEWS - (PICTURED: A group of Does in Richmond
Park) - Theres nothing mellow about this seasonal sensation as
testosterone-fuelled stags battle it out against the stunning backdrop of
Richmond Park. Photographer Mark Bridger, 45, took these quintessential
autumn pictures in the last two weeks at the famous deer park in south
west London. October and early November are the traditional time of the
rut when stags lock antlers to compete for mating rights with the females.
Arriving at dawn Mark caught some of the action on camera watching a pair
of fallow deer fight for over an hour. SEE CATERS COPY. *** Local Caption
