Roe Deer (female/doe)
Roe Deer / capreolus capreolus. Salisbury Plain, Wiltshire. 02/08/22.
Another image of the female Roe Deer I saw on Salisbury Plain back in August. The image was made from a burst of shots taken when I first spotted her. Apologies for the similarity to a previous posting - though her ears are in different positions and some of the flies have gone from her face!
I had been so hopeful I'd be able to spend a lot more time watching/photographing her from my car. Engine off, camera on silent, (as always) and me hardly daring to breathe. I waited for her to settle and move about, giving different views of herself. Simultaneously, a trail bike appeared from nowhere and roared towards me in a plume of dust.
I'm sure you can guess what the doe did, and it wasn't hang around.
