Ghost Stags

Maybe it's because they're white and they understand that they stick out somewhat amongst the greens and browns of the forest, I don't know, but the forests white Deer appear far more alert than their regularly coloured companions. These white Deer are often referred to as 'Judas' Deers as they will give away the presence of the herd; once spotted you'll always see more regularly coloured Deer around them, who you'd have otherwise passed unknowingly. They are beautiful to behold though and still rare enough to be a treat. White Fallow Deer are still relativity uncommon in the forest though they have become more frequent over the last few years or so. This one is still quite young by the look of him. They appear like ghosts of Deers past amongst the stands and possess a magical otherworldly quality.
