Sound Escape 195. Hear the eerie bellows of red deer stags during the autumn rut

It's a sound that seems more attuned to the uplands of the north and west: the deep haunting bellows of red deer. But we're on the edge of London, among the heaths and woods of Richmond Park. With a backdrop of rose-ringed parakeet chatter, it's a curious blend of wild and exotic. BBC Countryfile Magazine's Sound Escapes are a weekly audio postcard from the countryside to help you relax and transport you somewhere beautiful, wherever you happen to be. Recorded by Eleanor Rosamund Barraclough, introduced by Hannah Tribe.
