It's more rare to see hinds. They are more timid and more private, making off early when you betray your presence. Before then they've usually been suspicious and anxious for a time something telling them to be on guard. This morning there were five of them, the biggest party of hinds alone I've seen. As usual they were part hidden by trees and only the slowness of our progress allowed us to see them. One of them must be the calf born last year.
Wonderful to see that it's survived the harsh weather and interesting to see the thickness of its coat. Later the sun came up and they moved carefully into a more open area.
