I donned a (virtual) deerstalker this morning :sherlock:
In the deep shade of the trees
Until she spotted me!
And made a dash out into the open field
Love those leaps!
A brief pause… and the she was gone
Camera note: all shots taken with the Canon 40D and EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L USM IS lens.

29 Oct 2009Darko, it's surprising just how high they leap. So much energy, so early in the morning.

4 Nov 2009Roe deer are so tricky to get near. When ive come across them its always been late in the day undercover or a white rump disappearing into the vegetation! So great photos!

4 Nov 2009Thanks Neil. They're incredibly alert. The first shot is the closest I got (they're all heavily cropped).
