The stag with one antler may well have cast the other as this is the time of year that they start to lose their antlers.
Some nice animals on view including a really nice royal crossing the stream, the same animal as the right hand stag in the picture above (a 12 pointer with 6 each side and the top three of each in a "cup" shape) which, in the context of my contribution to the Louis Theroux thread, should be left for another year or two before harvesting.

“There is no more lovely country than Monmouthshire in early spring. Nowhere do the larks sing quite so passionately, as if somehow inspired by the Welsh themselves. There is a blackbird on every thorn and a cock chaffinch, a twink as they call him there, on every bush...... It moved me profoundly. I had been spared to see another spring, and I thank God for it.”
