A look at the wildlife in the New Forest on an early autumn day. Red deer stags fight for a stake in the future while adders and common lizards face their last chance to find a meal before winter. It's also time for one of Britain's answers to the Wild West, as local people saddle up and round up the forest's ponies for their once-a-year health check.
