I recently visited a site, for the third time, in the hope of getting Green Woodpeckers on ant hills. I waited disguised in camo for the woodpeckers and I am sure my concealment would have worked. Whilst waiting, a herd of Fallow Deer walked by the edge of the forest. Two of the deer broke from the herd to check me out for about a minute or more. Deer have an acute sense of smell and there is no doubt they were curious about what was in front of them. The scene through my view finder looked magical. They remained for about a minute or so gradually getting nearer. Sadly the stills camera does not capture the cute expressions and movements these two beautiful and enchanting animals made as they interacted with each other and me. I failed to get my woodpecker but this interaction made up for my failure.
