    [description] => 

Join cameraman and naturalist Jack Perks for a fascinating day focusing on one of nature’s most spectacular events, the Red Deer rut. Wollaton Hall is a 14th century stately home with 500 acres of land supporting 90 Red Deer and 120 Fallow Deer. In October, the rut begins with the stags and bucks, sporting their impressive antlers, roaring and bellowing and occasionally fighting for their opportunity to become the dominant male. With Jack, we hope to achieve close views of these impressive animals and hopefully some rutting. Wollaton is a fantastic place to learn deer photography as it’s home to so many animals in a very accessible setting. We will meet in the morning and head out to find the deer, being sure to keep a safe distance from the animals as we watch them. Jack will give hints and tips on their photography and as we will be keeping a respectful distance, a long lens is advised if you have one. As well as the deer there are plenty of interesting birds here to photograph with Great Spotted and Green Woodpecker, Great Crested Grebe, Grey Heron and Jay just some of the species commonly seen.

Start time is 9am and we will aim to finish at 3pm.

  • Enjoy observing and photographing two species of deer
  • We also hope to witness the rutting
  • A peaceful day within Wollaton Hall grounds
  • Led by Jack Perks

From the rolling heaths and woodlands of the New Forest National Park to the extensive wetlands that line the north Norfolk coastline, the varied habitats and landscapes of the British Isles are home to a wealth of exciting wildlife. It is definitely not essential to go abroad when wildlife holidays in Britain offer such diversity!

Summary

Join cameraman and naturalist Jack Perks for a fascinating day focusing on one of nature’s most spectacular events, the Red Deer rut. Wollaton Hall is a 14th century stately home with 500 acres of land supporting 90 Red Deer and 120 Fallow Deer. In October, the rut begins with the stags and bucks, sporting their impressive antlers, roaring and bellowing and occasionally fighting for their opportunity to become the dominant male. With Jack, we hope to achieve close views of these impressive animals and hopefully some rutting. Wollaton is a fantastic place to learn deer photography as it’s home to so many animals in a very accessible setting. We will meet in the morning and head out to find the deer, being sure to keep a safe distance from the animals as we watch them. Jack will give hints and tips on their photography and as we will be keeping a respectful distance, a long lens is advised if you have one. As well as the deer there are plenty of interesting birds here to photograph with Great Spotted and Green Woodpecker, Great Crested Grebe, Grey Heron and Jay just some of the species commonly seen.

Start time is 9am and we will aim to finish at 3pm.
