I noticed this group of Fallow Deer yesterday on my way to work. They were in a field close to the village of Langtoft and seen from the Roman road of King Street. It was fairly misty yesterday, which may have led to these fairly good views of this deer.
You can hopefully see that some of the group are bucks which still have antlers, although one appears to have only 1. There is also a pale individual on the far right, melanistic or leucistic, which is fairly common in this breed.
Below is a ropey short video of the group with passing cars 'whizzing' by for good measure.
What a great sight that was John; especially out in the open like that.
ReplyDeleteYes, I was quite surprised when I saw them so close to the road, I normally see them running into the distance!

Nice capture, John! I like the misty feel it has to it!
ReplyDeleteThanks Tammy! The fog helped in more ways than one!

ReplyDeleteThanks Mary,
DeleteI am still not totally convinced with my new layout, but will see if it grows on me.

Never tire of seeing these lovely animals John. We are quite fortunate to see them in this area as its not the best part of the country for the larger deer.
ReplyDeleteI had yet to see these in our area Roy, but was glad that I could make amends the other day!
