Cheers. Yes we seem to as they have expanded their range a bit further again this year. The Pine / Larch wood is strewn with freshly eaten cones too, these last few weeks.
Looks like the TLC is working! Hope so anyway.
Cheers
When I said overcast though it was just plain dull flat light.
Rain came on too.

Excellent,glad to see it is working Charlie.
The Roe Buck of last week seems to have "adopted" me to:nuts:
We quite often stand & look at each other. He seems quite unfazed by me.
Not like Roe at all.

Aye, they are nosy buggers, probably wondering what the light is shining off over there........
I have sarted feeding them now Charlie, they are still skittish,but the food goes every week.The landowner has banned all dog walking through two of the woods that we are working on,his dad was not happy,but there you go,deer don`t like dogs so the dogs are not welcome.

Look forward to some nice shots from you once they settle down.
I am reluctant to start feeding as I spend way too much already on those wee red fellas.
We had an idiot last year who quite cheerfully told me he liked to let his collie chase the deer.
I got stuck into him & canna understand why I have never seen him since.

I feed them on Sundays only Charlie,one of the tenant farmers lets me have a bucket of sheep feed for them,hopefully they will stay in the woods if they have food and shelter,espeially over winter, and away from the longdogs.
I only feed the buzzards on Sundays as well, they still need to learn to feed themselves, but no harm in helping them along,especially the young.

Another great shot Charlie of your usual subjects shown off to great effect sitting atop of the Birch prop.
Tell them to stick around
Superglued in place!
They will stay around but the younger ones will be forced out to find their own way in the world.
I have seen an old buck with what can only be described as murder in his eyes as he chased a lesser buck out of a wood.
I was glad I was sat up a tree.
Both lovely but that first one is such a great composition Charlie! The tail just makes it a classic
Thank you. I think he was quite proud of that tail!

Head check, - yep
ears check, yep

Yep you got it all in the image Charlie
#1 is a stunning image
I'm glad to see that there are
surviving young
When I had it in the lens, I thought to myself that I had best get it all in the frame or hissing Syd would have something to say.
We have a few young uns running about the place & the woods seem to be quite busy with reds this year too.
There was a female who looked like she was still suckling young there this morning as well. Hope she has not left it too.

Well I was up the glen yesterday & the bracken is on the turn as are some of the trees so I am thinking we may be in for an early autumn. Ach she can just bring the young to the hide. Never ending food supply there.
Good job you are not a rattlesnake. They shoot them.

Aye, you softies hiv it aesy doon sooth.
Lovely shots and well taken............as always
They are such beautiful creatures.......good to know someone is keeping an eye on them!
Thank you. I sometimes wonder though who is keeping an eye on who. They really are comical when they stare in the window at you.
That first shot is just super, Charlie. The little un' looks in good nick too.
Mr Cobra sir, I am guilty of a "the snake" this morning, but I promise it was meant with affection
Tara
