Description
The majestic red deer roams wild on the Ardnamurchan peninsular.Since the advent of forest clearance and sheep farming, these woodland creatures have adapted to life on high open moorland. The red deer is the largest species of deer in Britain. In summer, its coat is a deep reddish brown colour, giving the deer its name. In winter, the coat becomes longer, thicker and darker.
The stags have thicker more muscular necks than the hinds and in September to November, they have a dense mane of neck hair. This, coupled with their large branched antlers, make them an impressive sight.
