Roe deer in my garden

[thieuster]

We moved into our new house 10 days ago. On the second day we spotted a roe deer in our forest garden.
Sadly we didn’t get on camera.

Yesterday I put up a Xmas tree. (5 mtr. tall on the trailer, poxy little tree compared with the ‘normal’ trees...)

My youngest suggested that we would dim the lights and hope for some movement, now visible because of the LEDs in the tree. I had little hope. How wrong I was... within 10 minutes we spotted 4 roe deer on the lawn!

A quick pic from inside the living room, taken without flash produced this:

I take it you're not having venison for Christmas dinner then?

Magical! What a lovely environment in which to bring up children, too.

I've been plagued by them for years :)
Eaten everything I've tried to grow. They're good to see though.

I've discovered that they absolutely love tulips, but leave daffodils alone... Generally speaking, the whiff of whippet keeps them out of the back garden, but they happily treat the front garden as a buffet as the bulbs are coming up. They're so lovely to watch though, I can't really bring myself to begrudge them some poorly-planned tulips.

Great stuff.

The other day I was bumbling through the countryside in my old Land-Rover, after it had rained heavily and there was a lovely sunset on the go. On top of a hill, surrounded by woods, I spotted a bank of mist with loads of dark shapes in it. As I pulled up I realised it was a large herd of deer fading in and out of the mist. Sadly before I could grab my camera they'd scarpered but it was an amazing sight.
