Since the first lock-down, we have been watching the local deer population in a small pocket of woodland bordering the edge of the built-up area close to home. There is a healthy population of Roe deer with two dominant, Roebucks who have their own group of Does. Kids are usually born in May or June.
Using a long lens and camouflage we have over the last 3 years recorded the life cycle of these animals. We also started using trail cameras.
Last week we set up cameras in a spot where we regularly see deer and also find evidence that they have cleared a sitting patch. This post shows some of the footage from these trail captures. {only a small percentage of what was captured} I have also posted some stills taken from the films. It shows the interactions of the family group which I think is a privilege to see. It was a surprise to see that 2 of the Does had given birth {one with a single kid and the other with twins} fairly early in the season. {end of April}

Those fawns are so cute. Loved the video of the family. So glad you have been able to follow these deer for several years.

I have seen a few fawns, but not when they are being playful. That makes them even cuter.

How nice seeing the mom and fawn interacting and it must be very young as it’s a little unsteady on its feet, unless it’s just uneven ground. It sure was active.

Yes No more that a few days old I would have thought Linda.

How sweet Andy. I was so infatuated with the fawn I saw last year and it was much older than this wee one. Nothing like baby animals or birds to make your day.
