Under Surveillance


Having set out along the Lee Stream we had hoped to come across evidence of the deer. They had not been seen for some time. The paths are still clear despite bracken and the deer traffic in places has helped navigation. But there were no droppings and no fresh prints in the soft ground near the water. It was only a slight movement in the trees some way off up the bank that raised the question. The stag must have been watching us as we weaved in and out of the low trees and shrubs. And he didn't wait around when the camera came out.
