They have been haunting me.


Dry, sunny and warm.

During the last month I have sighted two Fallow Deer, about the village, on four or five occasions. Every time I have seen them, I've not had my camera with me. Today I was prepared. I didn't have a brilliant sight of them because they were in the area of Forestry, recently replanted and were partly obscured by the plastic tubes which cover the young trees, to protect them from damage by deer and rabbits. They were sadly, some distance away and I had Polly our GSD hanging on my left arm, trying to see what I was seeing.
Last week I saw them in the open from a distance of only about 10 metres but no camera. Today they were about 150 metres from home close to the main road through the village.

I'm sure that eventually I will get some better shots but these will do for starters.
Lovely to see them amongst the Foxgloves which are putting up such a good display at the moment.
