Minsmere deer rut

In October 2012 I arranged for us to go and see the deer rut at RSBP Minsmere in Suffolk, we had visited Minsmere a few times before but never at the time of the deer rut.

On the day of the deer rut safari, I had woken everyone up for first light thinking we would have a lovely sunrise, I was very wrong, It was grey and overcast 🙁 .

Still made the most of the morning in the hides around Minsmere, managed to see some marsh harrier , bitten, kingfisher, and a small family of deer.

 

After a few hours we went back to our cottage for the weekend and re fuelled ready for the deer safari in the afternoon.

Weather conditions brightened up a little and the rain stayed away.  The safari was excellent we managed to get quite close to the patrolling stags and his harem of hinds.
