Time Out

I'm having a PhD weekend but treated myself to a quick excursion with Mr DA to Petworth to see how the rut was progressing. There were a lot of very worn-out-looking stags littering the landscape including this one trying to get a bit of peace behind some anthills.  There was a bit of fighting when we first arrived but I suspect most of it took place in the morning; there was still a lot of amorousness in evidence, though.
