roe deer – Richard Carter

In the early hours

A bad night’s sleep has unforeseen benefits.

After several days of pretty dreadful weather, Jen and I were finally able to get some decent autumn strolls in over the last week.

Is it just me, or is it hot around here?

Spring has finally returned.

Spectacular winter light, and a brace of deer.

Spooked some roe deer.

The buck stops here—but not for long.

A wonderful day’s wildlife.

Wonderful light, and a suspicion confirmed.

A mysterious night-time visitor, and another bonfire.

Spotted on the Moor this Inglorious Twelfth: hen harriers (0); red grouse (0); gamekeepers (1).

A four-legged burglar!
