Oh ! Deery deery me.

Woke up one morning and what did I see ?

I's been trying to get a good shot of deer for the last 20 years.Everytime I see some around my cabin they have disapeared or hidden before I could get the camera to take a shot. I even followed one for half a mile through the trees oncem an every time it stopped I would stop and raise the camera to take a shot but by the time I had looked into the viewfinder the sneaky git had moved on. I got so paranoid that I thought them pesky deer were playing around with me head.
So imagine my suprisewhen I looked out of the kitchen window and saw the above.
See the DropBox link for more fab pics.
Several days later I had the chance to take some more pics. The cheeky deer stayed munching for a good three or four minutes and I managed to get a few very decent shots.
Enjoy.

First three pics are a view from me kitchen door.
Pics 4 to 10 are of the first occasion and are taken through the window.
The rest are taken from a distance of about 15 feet through the branches of me oak sapling.

I'll nip down Greenwich Park for you and take a few snaps of some deers if you want

That's if them Romanian folk haven't eaten them all yet.

So it's raining as heavily oop north as down sarf then?

Yup we had torrential rain yesterday. Raindrops as big as dinner plates.

Pictures of park deer ? Where is the thrill in that.

You townies

Did that DropBox picture show work ok then folks, was it quick enough and easy to use ? It is a bit slow on my pc.

Roe deer seen a couple of miles from home. Really well camouflaged with that background.

Yo would not see him if he were lying down would you.

 

[Abarbarian]

You can put venison in joints
