Today's nature shot

Perhaps that should be today's almost nature shot.



This is a picture of a red deer hind. She had run across the field, jumped the fence and stood there looking at me. But she was camera-shy and by the time I had pressed the button she had taken off into the woods.

I have calculated that over the past 40 years I must have walked some 8,000 miles, or it could be nearer 10,000, through the fields and woods around Stanmer, but this is only the second time I have seen a deer.

This one was a little less camera-shy. OK, he's a stag, not a hind, and he was on the farm.
