If you're finding Stag Beetles then please be really cautious if you have any piles of dead wood, as the larvae live & feed in them for around 7 years before emerging as beetles. Hence why they are endangered, as many people get rid of this kind of stuff when clearing overgrown gardens & land.
We regularly used to see them walking across the path in the park near Colyton Road, but not a single one since that area was cleared & mulched by the park staff a few years back...
