| Re: Autumnwatch on at a new time Well you get your wish - this is from the BBC report - Ive changed the names.
[i]Two resident stags named AAA and BBBB squared up to one another in an area containing sloping wet rocks. The weather had turned wild with big heavy showers coming through.
The stags locked horns as usual, to push against each another in a test of strength.
"The next thing I saw was BBBB must have somehow slipped," says Mr Morris.
"So BBBB ended up on his back with all four legs up in the air and AAA just carried on fighting, with his head down into the belly area of BBBB and BBBB was struggling to get up.
"And this all happened within less than two minutes."
At first Morris thought that was the end of the fight, which occurred too quickly to be caught on camera.
"BBBB managed to stand up and I thought he was OK, but I then saw his innards hanging out below his belly.
"Then just seconds after that he started to stagger like he was drunk and then he just fell into a gully out of sight where we couldn't see and AAA ran off and started rounding up hinds."
I wonder if theyll show that on the Saturday repeat.
