The previous entry<\/a> was taken on my way in to work. I saw the peahen at the side of the road. Too good an opportunity to miss so I pulled into the side and took a few shots. Fortunately it's a quiet lane and there was no traffic about. Before that I'd been over to the fields where I saw the sheep yesterday<\/a>. There wasn't too much activity until I noticed a tiny speck of movement in the far corner of one of the fields. <\/p>\n

This is full frame at 400mm focal length<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

Yes, a roe deer and fawn out in the weak early morning sun. This is the first time I've had any sighting of the local deer. I was far too far away for any decent shots, but watched as they made their way along the edge of the field. Here are a few more images, cropped quite heavily.<\/p>\n

So by 8.30 this morning I'd got my first photos of deer in the wild (I've previously only seen them in managed park-lands), and my first peahen. I wonder if she is related to the peacock <\/a> that frequented the car park at work a few months back?<\/p>\n

I'll update on the foxes in more detail soon, but we've had an extended visit from the old dog fox<\/a> (Monday night), and a flying visit from the nicked ear vixen<\/a> (tonight). <\/p>\n
