Boxing Deer in Richmond Park

Hot and bothered deer square up to each other in the heat while trying to cool off in Richmond Park’s Beverley Brook on a warm summers morning. The reserve, in south-west London, is home to 630 red and fallow deer which have been roaming freely since 1637 and have helped shape the landscape.
