Up on the local hills, more renowned for red deer. I was having my lunch by a pond when a head popped over the bank. A lovely roe buck. He didn't know I was there as I was dressed in dark clothing and standing with my back against a tree. He couldn't wind me where I was. He just ambled very slowly along the bank very close and presenting a perfect photo but to get to my camera I had first to put my lunch box down on the ground, and had I moved he'd have been off, so I had to wait till he moved on so that intermittently we were hidden from each other by trees. Fortunately he moved down a path that took him past my side of the pond, though with a rubbish background and a bit far for the 18 - 135mm lens, but we take what we're given.
Oddly he was the second roe I'd seen, though I did see reds as well. I'm in awe of the way they can clear a wire fence from a standstill
There were cuckoos, stone chats, chiff chaffs and skylarks all giving voice - and a thunderstorm that fortunately didn't come my way
