Deer in the morning

,

I took these before work this morning. It makes such a difference now the harvest is in.
Roe deer in the early morning sun





That was about as close as I could get with the camera. Beyond that the path I was on drops down into a small dip and the taller grasses blocked any clear view. I did try to work my way round from the other side, but by then they'd retreated into the woods that line the field.

About the only other shot I got today (the garden is unbelievably quiet!) was of this female kestrel at lunchtime. She seems be be re-growing tail feathers, not that it proved any hindrance to her.

Interesting "configuration" of her tail feathers up

Nice shots of the deer - looks like a doe with two half grown fawns smile Guess they'll be moulting into their grey winter coats soon.

Darko, yes she seems a bit of a warrior. She was quite large for a kestrel.

Neil, thanks. It was a nice break from the usual sightings.

Adele, yes it's the season of changes. I've noticed the blue tits are back in number. Still too many leaves on the trees though.
