RICHMOND PARK, LONDON: HORN-TING pictures of the annual deer rut have been beautifully captured by a British graphic designer from just twenty-feet away. The photographs show action-packed rutting as well as elegant snaps of deer silhouettes at sunrise in Richmond Park, London. Other pictures show up close-up shots of expectant stags at the start of the breeding season. Graphic designer Mark Bridger (47) got up at 5am to travel from his home in Kent to the deer-packed location just yards from the busy streets of London and spent four-and-a-half hours capturing these exciting shots.
