I had the sun at my back and a breeze blowing my scent away from this herd of red deer but they still took flight as I attempted to get a little closer. There are over 50 animals (mostly hinds as far as I could see) in this picture and more out of view. They took themselves off to the north west where I saw them later crossing Sleddale Beck. I descended into Widepot so as not to disturb them any further. I think the deer herd that roams these eastern fells of Lakeland may be the largest herd in England but please don't take this as undisputed fact.
