You’ll find red deer roaming in the U.K. at dawn, especially in Bushy Park, London. Adorned with thick manes and protruding antlers, the stags of these species draw attention by roaring to attract mates. Many wildlife photographers enjoy snapping shots of them in the morning mist that diffuses sunlight and bathes everything in a golden hue — a natural filter for these enchanting photos.
