Wildlife photographer documents impressive annual deer rut in London park

A wildlife photographer has been documenting the impressive annual deer rut in a London park.
Lesley Marshall captured scenes in Bushy Park as competing males show off to female deer during the breeding season.

Pictures include a lone stag bellowing at dawn, as well as two rivals going antler to antler.

Deer rutting season starts in September each year and lasts until early November.
Lesley adds: "Such an amazing time of year!"
