Sometimes there’s a scarcity of wildlife to see in the summer, especially in the afternoons when I think the birds take a siesta and stay hidden in foliage. However you can usually depend on deer to appear somewhere on a walk. Sometimes they can be spotted at the edges of fields, grazing the wild flowers. Keep downwind of them and they are less likely to detect your scent and run away.
This one with antlers was crossing moorland and had clearly spotted me as I walked along.
I was lucky enough to see this one at Aberlady Bay at dusk, enjoying the abundance of wild flowers.
You can see it has an antler just starting to grow on the top of its head.
Although they are a familiar sight the local roe deer are always a pleasure to see.
