SUMMARY

Hobbyist wildlife photographer Brian Johnston pursued an elusive albino red deer, commonly known as a white hart, over a weekend. While initially unsuccessful in photographing the stag, Johnston and a fellow photographer were treated to a close encounter with two young foxes playing. The following day, they managed to photograph the white stag while it was sleeping, capturing the rare creature. Johnston, who uses a Nikon D780 and a Sigma 160-600mm lens, advises patience and persistence for aspiring wildlife photographers.
