EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this snapshot, we witness a majestic Red Deer stag at Bradgate Park in Leicestershire, England during the enchanting rutting season. With his head held high and nostrils flared, he indulges in an intriguing behavior called flehmen - a unique way to scent nearby hinds. As autumn paints the parkland with vibrant hues, our dashing European male nature ambassador knows it's time to find love. With every breath he takes, he inhales the sweet aroma of potential romance wafting through the crisp English air. His keen sense of smell guides him towards an alluring hind hidden amidst the picturesque landscape. With each sniff and subtle curl of his lip, this mature stag demonstrates his expertise in breeding behavior. As if performing an ancient ritual dance, he communicates his intentions to both hind and rival males alike. The atmosphere crackles with anticipation as these magnificent creatures engage in their age-old courtship rituals. While humans may rely on flowers or chocolates to woo their beloveds, for these herbivorous beauties of Bradgate Park, it's all about scents and sniffs! Amidst breathtaking scenery and surrounded by fellow deer enthusiasts from around Europe and Asia alike; they embark on a journey filled with passion under temperate skies. So let us celebrate this fleeting moment captured by FLPA photographer Mark Sisson – where love is carried on autumn breezes
