Fallow Deer (Dama dama)
Intermediate in size between roe and red deer. There are four main variations in coat but many minor variations also exist including a long-haired version found in Mortimer forest, Shropshire. The common variety is the familiar tan/fawn colour with white spotting (becoming long and grey with indistinct spots in winter) on the flanks and white rump patch outlined with characteristic black horse-shoe. The Menil variety is paler, lacks the black bordered rump and keeps its white spots all year. The black variety is almost entirely black with no white coloration anywhere. Finally, the white variety can be white to sandy coloured and becomes more white at adulthood. This is a true colour variety and not albinism, which is rare. The fallow is the only British deer with palmate antlers.
Adult size. Bucks (males): 84 to 94cm at shoulder, 46 to 94kg. Does (females): 73 to 91cm at shoulder, 35 to 56kg.
Antlers. Palmate in adult (>3 years), increase in size with age, up to 70cm long.
Life span. Exceptionally, 16 years, bucks (males) rarely exceed 8 to 10 years. Status. Non-native but considered naturalised. Locally abundant and increasing.
UK distribution. Widespread in England and Wales, patchy in Scotland.
Habitat. Mature broadleaf woodland with under-storey, open coniferous woodland, open agricultural land.
Food & feeding. Preferential grazers of grasses although trees and dwarf shrub shoots will be taken during autumn and winter.
Origins & history. The extant species of fallow deer found in Britain was introduced by the Normans in the 10th century although some would suggest that the Romans attempted to introduce it here much earlier. Fallow deer were prized as ornamental species and were protected in Royal Hunting "Forests" for royal sport. During Mediaeval times many deer parks that held fallow deer were established and these and more recent park escapees have given rise to the free-living populations in Britain today.
Social Organisation. Group sizes as well as the degree of sexual segregation varies according to population density and habitat. Groups of adult males and females, usually with young, remain apart for most of the year in large woodlands, only coming together to breed. Sexes freely mix in large herds throughout the year in open, agricultural environments.
Vocalisation. During the rut bucks groan tremendously and does with fawns give a short bark when alarmed.
The rut. Behaviour is dependent upon the environment and population density. In most populations bucks maintain a traditional, defended rutting stand. In others a temporary rutting stand is maintained to attract sufficient does to herd them into a harem. In areas with very high buck densities a lek may be formed. In lower density areas bucks may simply seek out receptive females. During conflict, the escalation of display behaviour in bucks, from groaning and parallel walks to fighting, is in common with other larger species of deer.

Breeding. Adult does give birth to a single fawn in June after a gestation of 229 days.
Activity. Fallow deer are active throughout the 24-hour period but make more use of open spaces during the hours of darkness in populations experiencing frequent disturbance.
Peak times of activity are at dawn and dusk. Most hours of the day time are spent "lying up", which is where the deer lies down to ruminate between feeding bouts.

The Intermediate Egret is a medium-sized (56-72 cm), white egret with a yellow bill, yellow iris and black legs and feet. The bare facial skin at the gape terminates below the eye, whereas in the similar but larger Great Egret, it extends slightly behind the eye.
The Intermediate Egret prefers mainly inland habitats with emergent aquatic vegetation such as pools, river margins, lakes, swamps, rice fields and fish ponds. It is found less often in coastal habitats. It feeds mainly on fish, frogs, insects and crustaceans, which it catches by quietly standing and watching, or by slowly walking. Although it nests colonially, it may be found feeding either alone or in small groups.

FORT BRAGG, N.C. – Completed in April 2012, the new Irwin Intermediate School at Fort Bragg opened just in time for the 2012-2013 school year. Construction on the $14.9 million, 112,025-square-foot facility began in 2010 and was managed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Savannah District. The new school replaces the original Irwin building built in 1962. The school was formally dedicated with an opening ceremony on Sept. 27, 2012. It was named in memory of Lt. Gen. Stafford Leroy Irwin, who served as the post commander from 1946 to 1948. Located off of Normandy Drive, near Butler and Murray elementary schools, the new Irwin School serves 725 students in grades two through five. Amenities include art, music, and general purpose classrooms, computer labs, a playground, gymnasium, and multipurpose rooms with a stage and kitchen. Within the past few years, the Savannah District has completed more than $100 million in family support projects at Fort Bragg, including schools and child development centers. Between 2013 and 2020, another $90 million is budgeted for continued school development on Fort Bragg. USACE photo by Tracy Robillard, Sept. 12, 2012.

Seen about a year after delivery, First Bristol 35148 SN65OMS was delivered with 9 other Streetdecks liveried for the 90 service and wearing a red front. A headway reduction saw it painted with a neutral sky blue front as seen here in Sep 2016, but it would soon gain a third colour scheme in about a year when it gained Mendip Explorer colours.
