Photo of the month

by Lee Rogers

A magical moment on Exmoor as a stag leaps high over a fence while a herd of cows looks on, captured by North Devon photographer Lee Rogers for our September photo of the month.

Lee explains that it took a lot of time and patience. “After spending two years focusing on astrophotography, I wanted to try something new and lean more towards wildlife photography,” he told Molton Monthly. “This was my second trip out, and after sitting in a ditch for two hours waiting for a herd to move up the field, I managed to put myself in the right spot. I have to admit, there was a lot of luck here but its certainly increased my love for wildlife photography.”

With the rut season approaching, the whole stag party soon followed their leader! (see inset) You can see more of Lee’s photography online: facebook.com/leerogersphotography
