We're about more than just birds (though obviously we like them a lot).

Notes on nature

We love nature... from every little bug on a blade of grass to birds, butterflies, otters and oaks!

Monday's Magic Moment: Deer at dusk

  • Comments 0

This photo of a red deer hind at dusk, by Danny Green, is so simple, yet so striking. And I love the fact that, if you look really hard, you can even see her eyelashes!

Now is a great time to watch deer, as they are just starting their autmn rut, where males strut their stuff to win the hearts of the ladies.

If you'd like to see this stunning wildlife spectacle for yourself, why not head down to one of our reserves that are home to deer - many of these run events throughout the rutting season. 

But if you'd rather stay cosy and warm at home, you can still enjoy browsing this collection of fabulous deer rut images on RSPB Images.
