The wildlife in Bushy Park is truly breath-taking and no animals are more impressive than the stags.

These horned deer are particularly active at the moment as it is rutting season currently.

Over the weekend Ben Taylor caught this spectacular footage on camera of two stags locking horns.

He told Nub News: "Caught this stag fight in Bushy Park at about 6:30 yesterday. The male bucks were loudly bellowing to each other for a little while before they starting rutting, recorded from a safe distance and zoomed in."

It is important to maintain a 50m distance from the animals.

One man went closer and was lucky to escape unscathed - which you can read all about HERE
