Description

I was up before 6 am today to do one of my Breeding Bird Surveys for the BTO. and on my way back to the car I decided, on the spur of the moment, to explore a cul-de-sac on the estate which I wrongly thought might give me access to the river (for a future dog walk). I was delighted to find a view over Manor farm meadows and a group of these lovely little deer grazing in the breakfast sunshine.

Aw what a wonderful capture of his " Alert Stance" ! Their keen sense of hearing is outstanding indeed.

A brilliant capture. I have found deer almost impossible to get close to. And you see how well you've conditioned me. By the title I was expecting a stag beetle.

an ultra sunny capture of a deer who looks young, graced with sudden powerful light. And the pose is lovely too, as it looks behind him, ever vigilant. In the States, deer have invaded the suburbs and even the outlying portions of cities---this was rare, in years past. And they're so used to humans, they don't budge when you come near them, unless you show threatening postures. This is a capture of a real moment, and it's simple and beautiful. Being up before 6 does have some advantages. A very sunny moment...
