L'insouciance de la jeunesse. Bien que m'ayant repéré, ce faon n'a pas hésité à traverser le pré en venant vers moi. Peut-être voulait-il m'impressionner 😊
The carelessness of youth. Although having spotted me, this fawn did not hesitate to cross the meadow coming towards me. Maybe he wanted to impress me 😊

(Capreolus capreolus) We have a growing number of roe deer on our golf course. It's amazing how well they blend into the landscape when they want to. Generally you only notice them if they twitch their ears and you are looking hard!
Was down in Dumfries and Galloway yesterday for some wildlife. A quiet day however there were some cool appearances. This roe deer was grazing, we kept very still and quiet and we’re rewarded with a close up of this stunning animal. I hope you have a good weekend.
This Roe Deer buck was grazing amongst Gorse on Stoborough Heath one evening a couple of weeks ago. As it made its way over a small ridge, it stopped in a perfect spot between some clumps of Gorse and heather to keep an eye on me before disappearing. I was able to get this silhouette of it against the western sky. It looks like it was shedding some velvet from a fresh pair of antlers.
My last shot of my evening watching the barn owls, this inquisitive roe deer buck couldn't make me out as I was under my cammo tripod cover, I must add it's one of the best bits of kit I have have purchased. For those who might be interested here's the description, Lens Coat Camouflage Camera Lens Tripod Cover Blind Lenshide Lightweight, Realtree Max5 (lclh2m5)
I saw this majestic animal whilst walking through Minley Forest with my Sigma 150-600mm lens. Great moment.

After speaking to a gentleman who knows a fair amount about deer he gave me the follow info:
Whilst in Spring, the antlers are still growing and therefore have this thick fur like texture on them. This is called "velvet" and provides extra blood flow to the antlers to help the growth. The estimate age of this roe is around 4-5 years old. In April, the roe will scratch this velvet off which will enable the wooden like textured antlers to come through.
While being out in the hide in the woods (which I do often this time of year), this somewhat unexpected visitor came by for a few minutes.
I met this Roe Deer under a tree that releases pollen, looks almost an artistic effect.
Il capriolo bianco
Ho fotografato questo Capriolo sotto uno dei pochi alberi da polline in zona da me; alla fine ho ottenuto un effetto quasi artistico.
