Fallow Deer (Dama dama) – Knole Park, Kent, UK
Canon EOS10D, 600mm/f4, Gitzo 1548 + Wimberley Head. Evaluative metering (EV= 0), Av-mode, f6.3, 1/200, iso 400. Caught this fawn pronking. This is something I’ve been trying to capture for some time. Pronking is a form of behaviour common to some deer and antelopes in which they jump into the air with their legs straight and rigid – they kind of bounce. It is probably used, both to give the animal a better view of a potential predator, and to indicate to a predator that it has been seen and the individual is fit and therefore not worth chasing. Young animals also seem to do it for fun (another anthropocentric interpretation). Phil Shaw
