Fallow Deer, Doe
A trip to Bushy Park, Richmond, in early October as the Red Deer rut had started. It was dark and misty when I first entered the Park. The mist took awhile to burn off and then disappeared very quickly revealing some nice light.
The Fallow Deer is a medium-sized deer with four main variations of colour, ranging from melanistic (black with no white pigmentation), common (chestnut), menil (a paler chestnut) and white. The most commonly seen is chestnut with a black M shape on their rear and white spots. These spots are more pronounced in the summer coat. The male is a Buck, the female a Doe.
