    Tips

    December 13, 2019

    A deviation to the trig point provides a great place to spot red deer across the expanse of Big Moor, with the redundant Barbrook Reservoir in the background. The UK's largest land mammal, the red deer is a favourite sight on Big Moor.

    Sometimes, all you see of the stags (males) are the antlers sticking up above the heather. Along with the non-antlered hinds (females), in their russet-coloured coats, they blend in to the moorland. If you watch for a while, there are always more than first glanced.

    The best way to see them is with binoculars; trying to get closer will only scare them away, and the best time of year to see them is during the rut (mating season), when stags battle to mate with the hinds.

      Take some binoculars for a close up of the deer if you’re lucky enough to spot one

        Saw loads of red dear and cattle

          A trig point along White Edge. A man weet here told us there were four other trig points you could see from here. Next time, I need to take binoculars as I could only see one!
