First a quick sequence taken this morning…
And two shots from this evening. She was only in the garden for a few minutes, but it's about a week since I'd last seen the bold vixen. There are still signs of a slight limp, but nothing as severe as it had been, and she was able to jump down and use the 'weaker' leg for landing.
Camera note: all shots taken with the Canon 40D. The deer were photographed with the EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L USM IS lens. I used the EF 24-105 F4L IS USM and Canon 430EX flash unit for the vixen.

7 Nov 2009Very happy looking deer. We notice our cats acting this way when the weather turns cooler, especially if there is a bit of wind. Would this be the case with your deer?
Good to see she's recovering!

7 Nov 2009Lois, I think the deer are just running for cover having spotted an intruder on the horizon… me! I think I was disturbing their breakfast 😉

7 Nov 2009Darko, yes it was good to see her again. They're so erratic at this time of year you never quite know when they'll appear.

8 Nov 2009Love that last shot of her leaping down 🙂
And maybe I ought to admit that roe deer can actually fly :p

8 Nov 2009Adele, I'd not realized just how high the deer could get. I'd love to be able to get side on (and a bit closer).
