Backlit Roe Deer

Whilst walking along my local canal yesterday I saw these three Roe Bucks and a Doe in an adjacent field.

Its unusual to see them out in the open like this in the middle of the day as they are a very nervous and wary species.

Hiding behind a hedge I managed to get close enough for a few shots but the bright sun was directly behind them so I didn't expect to get any usable shots.

Not the best shot I have ever taken but I was pleased that I managed to retain some detail in the deer.

Here you can see they have just sensed my presence and seconds later they made off in the other direction.

Taken yesterday in Devon.
