• Title Majestic Wild Stag Approaches And Brushes Up Against Camera In Rare Moment
• Summary A curious wild stag was captured approaching a walker and interacting uniquely, coming particularly close to the camera. The rare encounter with the animal was captured by Craig Dundas whilst out walking, on February 7th, in the Scottish Highlands. Craig was out walking with his camera when he spotted the stag, and he then stopped to film the animal at a respectable distance. However, the stag calmly approached Craig and became rather comfortable. As Craig was taking the video, the wild red stag walked towards the camera until it was close enough that the camera lens steamed up. The animal quietly moved on, backing away from the camera and onwards with its journey. Reminiscing on how the rare encounter felt, he says, “I remember feeling a mix of disbelief and privilege in that moment, like I’d briefly been allowed into the stag’s world rather than the other way around. “Encounters like that are incredibly rare, and it felt genuinely special to witness such calm, natural behaviour from a wild animal.”
