This was on the front page of the BBC news website and was hailed as a "one in a million" shot of a fallow stag sneezing.

Looks like hundreds of shots of stags that i have taken yawning or "roaring" during the rut. The 'tog says he didn't realised he had caught the shot until he edited the images, so how does he know it was a sneeze?

Maybe the combo of a white stag sneezing? Not sure how common they are

Tons of 'em! Fallow stags have i think four colour morphs, and from what I've seen the white ones are no less common than the others!

Well, I suppose we'll have to go for 'biased BBC', it seems the fashion currently

What's more impressive is that he caught a Gorg from Fraggle Rock in the background.
