Deer Emerges From The Undergrowth With A Crown Of Bracken And Leaves

Magnificent beast even tried a camouflage look and even a beehive in attempts to attract a female. That's quite a head-dress, deer. He is one of the mightiest of creatures - and apparently also one of the most regal. Incredible pictures show stag crowning himself with Bracken as rutting season gets underway in Richmond Park.

Rutting: This deer looks stag-geringly good in his headwear as he looks to attract a mate. Camouflage: The mighty stag emerged from the bracken with his horns covered in bracken. Mating season: Rutting is well underway for the red deer in Richmond Park in Surrey. Photographer Greg Morgan, 43, watched as the deer raked the ground with his antlers in the Surrey park - a typical show of strength. He slowly built up his headress until it was covering his entire head.
