Fantastic film about the red deer rut in Killarney national Park. The magpie on the deer back is great. The mountain deer are spectacular. Great work

[@eddieforde]

Thanks Joseph, i was delighted with that magpie landing alright, it came out well. Like yourself, the long lens really helps. I’ll have to make a better attempt and get more mountain ones next year, I love seeing them up there. 👍🏻

Wonderful Eddie big thank you for your skill and patience I haven’t had much luck with deer except for a little bit of luck I found a gem by accident in Malaysia a tiny deer too scared phograph I returned every day for a week with dried fruit he loved it came closer day by day Until I got the photos what a joy turned out to be Russ or mouse deer

[@eddieforde]

thanks Brendan. kudos to you and your patience, going back every day to that mouse deer. I'm not sure I'd have the level of commitment tbh, I had to google what it was, an unusual looking creature for sure.... fair play

Fantastic, well done Eddie! BTW nice to meet you yesterday.

[@eddieforde]

thanks very much Dave, was great chatting to yourself yesterday also. hope I didn't delay you too much and that you didn't get too drenched as a result..

[@bevdonovan]

I enjoy all of your videos Eddie, but I especially enjoyed this one. I was wondering when the rut takes place? I'm presuming it's happening now, but wanted to check in case you filmed this a while back.

[@eddieforde]

hi Bev, thanks very much for watching. It goes on from late September to late November. Just for reference the video clips were taken over 4 days in 3 different places. first guy was 15 October , main block was 26/27 October and the final few clips were 4th November, I've put where I got them in the description. I would have liked to catch the big stags rutting, but I think maybe I was too late, hopefully get it next year.. I think this will become an annual outing...
