The white stag 💙

This beautiful creature has been roaming around the forest for some years ... Occasional sightings but not by myself until this morning... absolutely thrilled to bits was taken with my mobile so not the best of pics 💙🩵

[Hidden in reply to jillygirl]

I couldn't believe my eyes and luck he's magnificent 💜

[sassy59]

That’s really stunning Bb9, thank you for sharing such a wonderful picture. Xxx🥰💕

[Hidden in reply to sassy59]

Thanks Carol I agree he's stunning all the years I walk the forest and never seen it just pure luck 💜

[Jaybird19]

he is a beauty .

does this make life more difficult for him ?. he will not have any enemies there . no wolves I hope.

[Hidden in reply to Jaybird19]

I don't think he's got a difficult life I think he's very much the boss in his harem ...no wolves apart from in the local zoos 💜

[Jane2005]

So beautiful 🥰

[Hidden in reply to Jane2005]

He's amazing 💙

I love the stags, I live near Woburn and theirs plenty of them around that way, I also love photography and have taken a few on my camera, never seen a white one though, would love to get a few shots of that one, your lucky in the right place at the right time, as they say 😊

[Hidden in reply to TG58]

I'm in the New Forest herds of up to at least 200 at a time .. but the white one is exceptional now I have seen him 💜

[TG58 in reply to Hidden]

Wow, don't get that many at Woburn, are you a photographer as well ?

[Hidden in reply to TG58]

It's a hobby just 😊

[TG58 in reply to Hidden]

Hope you don't mind, I took a look at some of your images, some lovely work, I take it you're shooting on a DSLR

[Hidden in reply to TG58]

Thankyou ❤️

[Cornishman1966]

Absolutely stunning.

[Hidden in reply to Cornishman1966]

Agreed 🩵

[OOB_Tigger]

What a handsome stag he is! You were lucky indeed, well done Bb. Thank you. Jackie and Jasper xx 🐾

[Hidden in reply to OOB_Tigger]

Hi both absolutely beyond good luck he was just like there loved it ❤️

[Spacecat1]

Wow how beautiful. You are lucky

[Hidden in reply to Spacecat1]

Very lucky to have seen him ❤️

[Threecats]

How wonderful Bb! What a beautiful creature he is! I wonder if his ladies consider themselves a cut above the others who just belong to standard coloured stags😊

Glad you have finally managed to see him and capture his image for us, too x

[Hidden in reply to Threecats]

There apparently is a family line and they are around but seen very rarely which is strange given that they are white and would stand out in the forest greens... the others camouflage themselves quite well when they need to ...but was definitely an honour catching him and my phone camera is not great so was happy to see a nice picture ❤

[Cloudancer]

Many many congratulations to see such a beautiful and rare animal-so pleased for you x

[Hidden in reply to Cloudancer]

It was a definite pleasure and something I won't forget in a hurry 💜

[TomTitTot]

Absolutely breathtaking ‼️

[B0xermad]

What an amazing creature, thank you

[Hidden in reply to B0xermad]

Thankyou Boxer ❤️

[Alberta56]

Lovely. So glad you saw him. We used to have white deer in Epping Forest. I don't know if they're still there or if the traffic has got them. New Forest is a much better place for them xxx

[Hidden in reply to Alberta56]

Oh really that's interesting I wonder why they are so few and far between there's an obvious family line around here but they are so elusive very strange 🩵

[helenlw7]

What an amazing sight. You are so lucky to have seen such stunning creatures.

[Hidden in reply to helenlw7]

I'm blown away that I did 🩵

[Mooka]

[Alm2019]

Stunning shot! You look pretty close too. Beautiful animals.

[Hidden in reply to Alm2019]

I think I was about 40 foot away and then crept in as close as I could get 😁

[Karenanne61]

Oh wow! Brought tears to my eyes. How amazing that you were able to see such a mythical, majestic beast. Thankyou so much for sharing. Yet another reason for me to visit the New Forest again this year. Trying to organise our main summer holiday at the moment. We love the hippy vibes and heat of Ibiza.

[Hidden in reply to Karenanne61]

Oh my goodness didn't mean to make you cry ... but I admit I shed a few when I saw him ...I love going abroad for some sunshine and proper sea swimming...🥰

[Karenanne61 in reply to Hidden]

It was just a couple of happy tears. 🙂 I love gazing out to sea but a fish phobia hampers swimming in it.🤣 Even have a struggle with boats but managed the local ferry in Ibiza last year!

[Hidden in reply to Karenanne61]

Aww that's a shame regarding the fish as the sea water is lovely to swim in .. I hope you decide on your lovley holiday very soon 💜

[JJ_7]

Great picture even with a phone! Thanks for posting x

[Hidden in reply to JJ_7]

I'm surprised at my stupid phone for taking it normally its awful 😂
