Roe Deer

[Ambriel]

Thought you all might like to see what was in the field at the rear of our house this morning: a pair of roe deer.

Deer are a common sight round our way although they're more usually Sika rather than Roe, so nice to see this pair today.

That's a lovely picture of what must have been a lovely sight for you. I sure wouldn't mind looking out of my window in the morning and being met with such a view.

Lovely, even the rabbit looks surprised to see them

Yeah, the rabbit really makes the photo, I think. I had to sneak along the fence-line to get that shot. My neighbours probably think I'm a loony

[Dogghound]

Great shot well done, its worth looking like a loony for that

Beautiful shot! We have a few round us, who only moved in recently. Local clay mining company have done some "heathland restoration" work on some derelict land behind us, and they seem to like the additional cover. I came face to face with one, only a few feet away over the hedge a few weeks ago. Don't know who was more suprised, me or the deer, but it stood perfectly still for several seconds before wandering off in no hurry. Wish I'd had my camera!

I think the neighbours are starting to get used to me now

We get quite a lot of Sika deer round this way but the Roes are less common, although one recently swam across from Kintyre to the Isle of Gigha!

Wow, what a great sight. My only really sightings are them running away from me in Woodland

Excellent! .... what a sight to wake up to in the morning.

You are not loony .... you are very fortunate to see them and photograph them.
