I love seeing pictures like this, shows just how good they are at hiding so you miss them.
Far better then those out in open more natural
You caught her well Les, nice one

Agree with Ingrid, roe are more of a woodland/scrub type animal,always nice to see them in habitat.

Well done Les, good stalking and nice shot [lucky for her this is a photography and not a shooting forum]. She know's you're there tho'.

She know's you're there tho'.

In my experience they normally do when in cover like this and tend to stand and watch, most people don't even see them.
It's out in the open that they get flighty and run off

Manual focus on the mighty Tamron 150-600mm

Excellent capture. Very well done.

Thank you Jeff

Yes Tamron 150-600mm as opposed to my Ruger .243

I agree 100% they can be quite skittish

Thanks all for taking the time to comment
