Thank you as always for your continued support, and kind comment, my valued friend. 👍◕‿◕

Hello again Beyonce, thank you for your continued support. I must admit, it is one of the most stunning locations I have ever been to in my life and for it to be in England in the UK is just unbelievable. Thank you for your kind comment my friend. 👍◕‿◕

Hello Dee, yes, time does indeed fly. Hmm, I suppose this must mean we are all a year older, damn, lol. I would usually have been to these rutting grounds a few times by now, but the weather has been awful there and very very windy in the valleys. I was grateful for the one good-sized Stag that I did see, as shown. There were other smaller Stags on top of distant hills, either biding their time or possibly waiting for a single hind for each to try for. Thank you as always, for watching and for your lovely comment, my good friend. 👍◕‿◕

Hello again my friend, thank you for returning to my channel for this video. I am happy that you enjoyed watching and that the subtitles were helpful for you. And thank you for your kind comment. Have a lovely day my friend. 👍◕‿◕

We are Like#5 :) very well captured on video.

@@thebeautyofnatureandanimal1771 Hello again my friend, thank you for the 'like' and comment. (I don't seem to get so many 'likes' for some odd reason) I'm glad you enjoyed it and I wish you a lovely coming weekend. 👍◕‿◕

Better late than never Rosco. ◕‿◕ It is an amazing location, but it doesn't half get windy there, even on a calm day. But it is fabulous on those moments when it really hots up as it can be tricky to know the best place to point the camera. I mean, something could be going on with different Deer to either side or even the fellside behind you! Thank you for your support as always, my Deer friend. 👍◕‿◕

Thank you 👍◕‿◕

Thank you for your visit and kind comment my friend. 👍◕‿◕

Привет мой друг, спасибо за ваш визит. Я рад, что вам понравилось видео. Слава Украина 👍◕‿◕

Thank you for your visit and for your kind comment. 👍◕‿◕

Hello again Badger, yes it is a fabulous location, breath-taking. I'm glad you love the choice of music, as I spent several hours listening to and picking out tracks for each Deer video. Thank you for fully watching and for your lovely comments my good friend. I wish for you a wonderful weekend. 👍◕‿◕

When I discovered this place a few years ago I was totally amazed myself too! And now 3 years later I am just so pleased that they return here each season. I was there again yesterday and there were more Stags this time. The large harem of hinds has split into a few smaller groups now. Thank you for watching and for your comment, my friend. 👍◕‿◕

Good morning Manu, thank you for returning to watch this video, my good friend. It is an incredibly beautiful location and a pleasure just to be there, even without any Deer but what a difference they make to the landscape during the rutting season. Thank you for your kind comment, my friend. I wish you a wonderful weekend.👍◕‿◕

Thank you Dave 👍◕‿◕

Hi Wes, thank you for returning to watch this video. The weather has stopped me from returning to capture more serious rutting behaviour. There will be more Deer there now as I filmed this 9 days ago. Thank you for your comment, my good friend. 👍◕‿◕

Thank you for watching and for your kind comment my friend. Much appreciated. 👍◕‿◕

Thank you. 👍◕‿◕

Hi Jarmila, I hope you are well. The Deer were not too active when I filmed these scenes over a week ago now and I hope the weather holds out as the forecast says for tomorrow when I should be returning. There looks to be a window of this one day, between 2 weeks of rain and high winds. There will be more Deer there and certainly more action! Thank you for returning to watch this and for your kind comments my good friend. 👍◕‿◕

Hello Stefan, yes it is and as the days and weeks pass, it will only get better, with more action my friend. it is just the horrid weather that has so far prevented me from going back there. Thank you for your comment my friend. 👍◕‿◕

Hello my friend, thank you for watching and for your kind comment. 👍◕‿◕

Hi Gaz, it took me ages to find the music that I think is suitable, after trying several others first. The deer were difficult to spot too and there were not many Stags about, aside from the big one with the Hinds. I was happy at the end of the long day and look forward to my next trip there, next week. Thank you as always for your support and lovely comment. 👍◕‿◕

Hello there, I'm glad you like the music and agree it fits well. I don't often add music and it can be hard to find the right tune. I do like this one myself though. Thank you for watching and for your kind comment, my friend. 👍◕‿◕

Hello again my friend, I have planned to return as many times as I can. This time last year I had already been 3 times and went 9 times in total. However this year the weather up there has been awful and continues to be that way. much rain and wind with dull skies. It is so out in the open that if you get caught in a storm, you simply get soaked and so does all your equipment. I am hopeful to return one day next week, even though the weather is dull. I am certain there will be more harems and more Stags about, obviously with more action too. Keep your eye out for further videos my friend and thank you as always. 👍◕‿◕

@@WildlifeBirdsUK I hope the weather will cooperate one day. Good luck out there!

@@HikeToWildlife Thank you my friend, I am looking to next week now. Fingers crossed. 👍◕‿◕

Hi Petra, thank you for your continued support. I'm happy that you enjoyed watching this video and I appreciate your comment and your best wishes my good friend. Have a lovely weekend. 👍◕‿◕

Good morning Don, I was *very lucky indeed* with the weather on this day, considering the time of year and those hills and valleys etc. I returned there yesterday, as it was the only day over a 3-week period with a break in the rain! But even then, it did drizzle down a couple of times and I did get caught in it as it is just so open. It is only in the late afternoon that the sun (if there is any) hits that side of the valley and illuminates the colours of the ferns and grasses etc and of course any Deer that are present. It's a fair question on the Stag too. The truth is I have no idea at all, but I can imagine with the Stag so preoccupied with his quest to mate with any Deer coming into oestrus that he wouldn't be bothered about me at such a distance and it was likely another hind or something interesting to him, directly in line with me. It looks like bad weather there for at least another week or more, so I won't be able to add as many Deer Rutting videos as last season (9) and will be stuck at home more sadly. Hey-ho that's the Uk for you and I noticed your next video is in Mallorca/Majorca, which I am about to watch with envy. thank you for your continued support my good friend. 👍◕‿◕

Thank you for your visit and kind comment Andy. I hope to see you again sometime. 👍◕‿◕

@@WildlifeBirdsUK You will....

Hello my friend, indeed, I had my 3,000 mil lens fully extended when filming these scenes. So any wind means it is not worth bothering as even a tiny lens shake is exaggerated on the 'actual' footage and is very shakey and useless. And if you get caught out in the rains in these valleys... *you get wet* and so can your camera. I have been waiting for the right weather to return there for over a week already, it really is in the laps of the Gods. Anyway, thank you for watching and for the nice comment. 👍◕‿◕

Hello there, thank you for your visit and kind comment. 👍◕‿◕

Thank you for your visit, like, and for your kind comment, my friend. 👍◕‿◕

Hi Anita, I'm glad you enjoyed watching. Thank you for your continued support and for your kind comments and greetings, my dear friend. 👍◕‿◕

Hello again Jef, I'm glad you like the Deer and thank you for your kind words, my friend. 👍◕‿◕

Thank you for your visit and for your kind comment, my friend. 👍◕‿◕

Good morning Andrea. It is the same area as last year, but I showed a little more this time after I had to search to locate the Deer. I wondered if I had gone too early in the season and then thought they had moved somewhere else, as it was over 5 hours after my arrival that I saw my first Deer on this occasion. They don't actually remain here all year round and must be over the moors and in some of the woodlands for the rest of the seasons. This is just where the hinds head to and of course, the Stags will always find them. All the woodlands in the area are on private land so I do not know which woodlands they stay in, or how far they travel to arrive here. My week did start well as I returned to this location yesterday. There were more Stags around and the hinds had split up into smaller groups. It is still early in the season though and they will be more active as the days go by. Thank you as always and I wish you a great week ahead, my special friend. 👍◕‿◕

Thank You very much dear Jane for explaining me how they behave in the rest of the year too. 5 hours of waiting are a lot of time and this add value to Your document, and the fact that they gather here from their unknown habitual places adds further value and fascination! It was a pleasure to read about this good start of the week!!!

@@AndreaNature Thank you Andrea. I know it is interesting to you and that you read my detailed responses, so that is why I do this for you, my valued friend. I now have 72 videos to watch back and edit from yesterday afternoon until dusk. Many are useless as the wind caused so much camera and even tripod shake. I'm aching all over this morning, but have so much to do. I would rather be busy than bored though. I wish you and your family a lovely day and a great week ahead. 👍◕‿◕

Gosh, 72 videos mean a great harvest but even a lot of job to do! Unfortunately I understand how the wind can ruin any recording. Sometimes I got better results hand holding the camera and stabilizing the footage rather than using a tripod, but this is just one of my best excuses not to bring a tripod along! ^ ^ I hope that You will be well soon! I actually have backpain quite often working in the field, but I like continuing anyway ^ ^

@@AndreaNature It's quite boring going through the videos. The way I do it is to watch each one through and delete the useless ones the first time, time from either end any that look ok in parts, and then eliminate further as I go along until I can see my 'story'. The its all another major edit to finish. I went to see a surgeon to talk about fusing my bottom 3 discs and adding metal rods and screws, which frightens me some, but after a physical examination of my Coccyx it is suspected I have coccyxdenia also. I struggle to sit down for more than 10 minutes without nasty pain down there. I am waiting for more MRI scans and then possible injections of anti-inflammatories. If they don't help the surgeon wants to remove my tailbone!!! It is all very scary and I will stall it until I can no longer take the pain of it all, then reluctantly may have to have both surgeries and there are several risks too. I know things can always be worse but I would love to have some part of the rest of my life pain-free and be able to sleep better. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
