Checking me out

This is part of an ongoing personal project I have to habituate some Roe Deer to better understand their behaviour and to be able to photograph them close-up. I had a breakthrough with this small group in getting their curiosity and a bit of trust. I sat down nearby whilst they grazed, and every now and again they would come over to check out this odd human following them around. Later on I had an incredible experience. I had been trying to get the buck used to my voice. Later on when I called to him, expecting him to just stop, quite incredibly he walked towards sniffing me. And at one point came very close to me. I might put the video up.
