Yesterday morning, I went for a walk with friends in Carburn Park. It was such a beautiful morning, and 21 species of bird (all the "usual") were seen. We spotted several White-tailed Deer in amongst the trees in the distance - at which point I announced that I was going to stay and try and get a few photos : ) The thought of hopefully seeing deer had been enough to get me out of bed early and face the cold, so I wasn't going to miss this opportunity. I hung around, at a respectful distance, and was able to watch how they interacted with each other. I think I spent more time watching them than I've ever watched deer before - and it was fascinating. For most of the time, there was a mass of branches between us, but I did get a handful of reasonably open shots. This buck, along with two other bucks of different ages, eventually made their way to feed out into the open, so I only had bushes and tall grass to contend with. They were fully aware that I was there, but I still got a rather surprised look on their face each time they glanced my way. In the afternoon, I had various errands I had to run, including desperately needing to wash my car. My joy at getting in and out of a sparkling clean car and of loading and unloading bags of groceries without getting my clothes filthy, was VERY short-lived! It snowed overnight - again : ) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White-tailed_deer
