"During the autumn the deer 'rut' (breeding season) takes place.
The Red 'stags' and Fallow 'bucks' compete for females (known as 'hinds' and 'does' respectively).
At this time, the large males roar, bark and clash antlers in a spectacular way in an attempt to
fight off rivals and to attract as many females as possible. The young are born mainly in June,
and are hidden by their mothers amongst the bracken and long grass. Females and their young are very
vulnerable and sensitive to disturbance at this time."---The Royal Parks
