Roe deer

In their paddock in Abbey Lane, not far from Filnore Woods, Jo and John Moe have a trail camera set up.

A recent pair of visitors were this roe deer couple.


You can see that the male or buck has antlers covered in fur because they are still growing.  Strangely one antler seems to be bigger than the other.  Perhaps the smaller one will catch up.

Did you know that the original Bambi in Felix Salten's book was a roe deer, not the white-tailed deer of the Disney film.
