In The Open


I've been complaining that I've recently only seen deer partly or mostly hidden by trees and bracken, thus denied a chance to enjoy the view of the red coat at its finest. This courting couple put that right this morning and looked quite ginger in the bright sun. Unusual to find a young stag and hind together in this way. Previously we had explored in some dense vegetation where the bracken reaches 7 feet tall hoping to get a glimpse of any young calf that may have been born. It's a pretty hopeless task the only reward being a sighting of a hind's back deep in the thickest birch wood.
