It was such a peaceful moment on a late afternoon when this roe deer came to the pond to have a drink.
It was a delight to see this female Roe Deer, browsing on the meadow grasses. Oblivious to our presence, she wandered in quite closely here, before finally noticing us.
This shot was taken in the moment just before she slipped away into the tall grass & was gone.

Roe deer vary in coat colour throughout the year, being most distinguishable in the summer when their coats are bright rusty red. In winter, their coats turn a dull, slate grey colour. Both sexes have a prominent white rump and no visible tail. Females (does) have a small ‘tush’ or tuft of hair similar to a tail at the base of the rump patch during the winter.

My thanks to anyone who views, faves or comments on any of my photos. It is much appreciated.
This cold evening offered up a magnificent sunset over the snow-covered landscape. Just as I'd given up on photographing any animals, these two roe bucks showed up in a field. I had to adjust a little bit in editing to get the colours of the sky and the animals up front to both stand out.
Very minimalistic photo of a roe deer in the mist from far away. I've had a shot like this in mind for a while but never got the right conditions in the right place, until now!

A recent swing through the woodland in Combe brought about what is probably my favourite Roe Deer shot for a few years now. Aided by some decent tree cover, this female came into view but without spotting me until it was about 15ft away. Despite staying completely still, eventually it bolted but I had a few minutes prior to get a tack sharp capture and with my preferred central composition.

The roe deer is a relatively small deer, with a body length of 95–135 cm (3 ft 1 in – 4 ft 5 in) throughout its range, and a shoulder height of 63–67 cm (2 ft 1 in – 2 ft 2 in), and a weight of 15–35 kg (35–75 lb). Populations from Urals and northern Kazakhstan are larger on average growing to 145 cm (4 ft 9 in) in length and 85 cm (2 ft 9 in) at shoulder height, with body weights of up to 60 kg (130 lb), with the deer populations becoming smaller again further east in the Transbaikal, Amur Oblast, and Primorsky Krai regions.[citation needed] In healthy populations, where population density is restricted by hunting or predators, bucks are slightly larger than does. Under other conditions, males can be similar in size to females, or slightly smaller..
Bucks in good conditions develop antlers up to 20–25 cm (8–10 in) long with two or three, rarely even four, points. When the male's antlers begin to regrow, they are covered in a thin layer of velvet-like fur which disappears later on after the hair's blood supply is lost. Males may speed up the process by rubbing their antlers on trees, so that their antlers are hard and stiff for the duels during the mating season. Unlike most cervids, roe deer begin regrowing antlers almost immediately after they are shed.
