Practice Session The same bull as in yesterday's shot, sparring with a younger one of his herd. They lined up on either side of the log and quietly locked horns and tried different head shakes. Update: I was about 10m away. And they were not aggressive at all. It was all very slow, as if the older one was saying "see, if you lock horns this way, I can turn you on your side. Keep your head up in close encounters. It was almost a dance.
Posing for the camera This large deer was more curious than afraid. The bull of his herd in the large compound on an alp south of Vienna
Schneeberg ("snow mountain) at 2076m is the eastern-most "high alp" in the alps. But if this weather keeps up, they might have to rename it "bald mountain". Above freezing temperatures at the peak yesterday.
