One of the fox has gone into the main Gallery tonight so isn't ready to post. Instead here are a couple from this evening of a very greedy wood mouse!

Jenny , what lovely photos, I think the Roe looks at its best this time of year with the velvet making their antlers look like some exotic vegetable rather than bone.
A diary would be good and an interesting addition to any photos especialy if you could post it here for us to read.
Do you have them all year round ?

Regards

Rob

Thanks, Rob. The velvet does look very pretty, doesn't it.

Yes, we have them all year although sometimes we see more of them than other times. For some reason they hang about in a bigger group in February. The most interesting time is when we first see the babies in May. There were 3 last year from 2 different does.

We also get muntacs which don't appear in groups just alone, in pairs or 3 when they have a fawn.

Here is a video taken yesterday. If you look closely you will see a muntjac at the beginning. This video is taken about 15 feet from my house.
