Hoping to see Roe Deer this beautiful morning having seen three very briefly on a grim, dark morning recently. Their bright white rumps showed up as they dashed away. Not to be seen today though. It was almost disappointing to see only the Red instead, but then they are always a welcome sight. We are very lucky to have the Reds here because across the country as a whole it's Roe that are far more common despite being somewhat scarce locally.
I do look forward to seeing special groupings of Red at this time, something I've seen every year and which seems confined to the post-rut period. A large stag accompanies a small group with one or two hinds only or a hind and young. They are all delightfully at ease with each other appealing to the sentimental side which many of us find hard to shake off. Dear indeed.
