Fallow Buck - Dama Dama
Fallow deer have four main variations of coat:
Common – tan/fawn, with white spotting on flanks and white rump patch outlined with black horseshoe shaped border. Coat fades to a general grey colour during the winter
Menil – paler colouration with white spots year-round and a caramel horseshoe shape on rump
Melanistic – black, almost entirely black or chocolate coloured
White – white to pale sandy-coloured turning increasingly white with age (this is a true colour and not albino).
Fallow deer often have a distinctive black inverted horseshoe shape on their rumps, and a black stripe on their tails which are the longest of all British deer.
The Fallow deer is the only species in Britain with palmate antlers. These become full-sized after the deer are three/four years old and can reach up to 0.7m in length. Facially, their head is more elongated than some species with large angular ears.
Does and their young give short barks when alarmed. Bucks groan loudly during the breeding season.
Fallow deer leave large hoof prints (slots), about 6cm long in soft ground. Their feet are more elongated than Roe deer and are heavier, creating deeper prints.

A fallow deer buck resting on his laurels in Bushy Park, London, UK. The herd were in full summer colour with beautiful spotted coats and the bucks had very impressive antlers, indeed. This guy didn't seem too perturbed by me making my way slowly by. This photo illustrates just how well camoflaged deer lying amongst the browning summer grasses can be.
Call of The Wild,
a Fallow Deer buck calling for the does, Sainte-Croix, France.
The male fallow deer is known as a buck, the female is a doe, and the young a fawn.
This species of deer has remarkably variable coloration. Different coat colors present at different times of year, through selective breeding, by region, or simply by chance.

Fallow Deer

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.

A Fallow Buck trotting through the bracken.
I was photographing a group of Red Deer here, when this guy appeared in the clearing & passed right through the centre of the reds, photo-bombing the scene. He barely registered my presence as he passed by, so I'm guessing that he was on a mission.
Taken in Richmond Park, in London.
This little fallow deer was great fun, playing fetch with me in the sun. The look says it all really....have you ever seen a fallow deer enjoying a stick so much?
Normally timid, this little one wasn't, and he really did have a superb dog complex. Molting a little at the neck where the soft winter coat was lifting, I was nuzzled for a scratch, which left me with a smile and a warm feeling. What a wonderful day.
Thank you all who fave and comment on my photo'/video's,much appreciated.And thank you all for looking
