Hi All,

Yep I thought that title would arouse some interest:D

Here are a series of photos taken by a mate of mine back in the autumn. I apologise for the quality of the pictures, only they were taken at distances of over 100 metres and then I have heavily cropped into the images to attempt to show detail.

I will post each shot separately as for some reason if I try and post multiple shots at a time it goes wrong.

The photos are of two mature sika hinds having a punch-up, which is something you dont often see. I understand that red hinds also show this behaviour from time to time.

This is one of the shots before cropping,so you can see the start quality. This behaviour is so rarely photographed in sika that I thought they were worth posting up.

Thank god for motor wind.........

Great shots, I have video of Reds doing it stashed away somewhere. I will try to find it but I think it was the best part of 20 years ago I took it.

Are we sure they are "fighting" ???;)

Great pictures.

Cheers + ATVB

Good point, and to be fair I am not sure. I have always been lead to believe that it is stylised fighting, but to be honest I am not that sure. Apparently one chased the other off, so maybe that was victor and vanquished ?
