Roe deers

[turlough]

Usually I only see their tracks in the snow but on my walk today I spotted these three Roe Deers (Capreolus capreolus) and managed to shap a photo before they spooked and ran off.

My new career, deer paparazzi ;-D

Yay, deer!

[turlough]

Such a cool sight!

They tend to stick to the forest locally so we rarely get to see them this close!

[turlough]

They usually do that here too but I think the heavy snow the day before had them ranging closer to town looking for food. (Where I lived before you could see them walking down suburban streets in broad daylight!)

What a lovely sighting.

Yes, it really was!

Oooh! Pretty deer.

[turlough]

They're so elegant and graceful!

Wow!

They're cute. Their ears look so small to me! I'm used to seeing whitetailed deer or mule deer, which have medium and large ears respectively.

Re: Wow!

[turlough]

I've never thought of them as having small ears but then I used to see them all the time where I lived before.

It was such a suprising sight!

I'm very happy I managed to take a photo before they bounded off!
