We have some stunning animals in the UK, most are safe, some tolerant enough to be photographed at fairly close quarters though they can sometimes be a little tricky, but I'm happy to spend some time trying to get near them if I can. The red deer located on Big Moor are a particular favourite as they are close enough to home to make an outing with them just a few minutes drive away, but they are also wild enough to be a challenge.
The red deer of the Scottish Lowlands around Dumfries and Galloway are also a favourite with the added benefit of the endangered red squirrels which are the most amazing creatures to behold.
