My first day photographing red deer at the Bridge of Orchy was a bit of a wash-out thanks to one of our party turning up dressed like a lollipop lady. We hadn't been able to approach too closely without being spotted by the herd. So today, I headed out at sunrise to see if I could get a glimpse of any other deer in the glen. On my own, dressed in more appropriate clothing, I was able to get pretty close to a pair of young stags hanging out down by the river.

About the photographer

I'm Alex Nichol. I'm an amateur photographer from the North of England. For me, photography is a way to share what I love most about the world. That includes everything, from family and friends, to wild animals and breathtaking places... or maybe just how the sun twinkles on a weed in my back garden. It's all fair game.
