Sorry about the poor quality. Christmas is coming and a decent camera is on the list. Took this out of the bedroom window this afternoon. Only the second visitor (that I've seen) in 5 months. First time I've managed to get a picture.

I was pretty amazed to see deer grazing on the side of the M40 on Saturday afternoon!  Not spotted them there before.  They were on the hard shoulder, not in a field, and seemed totally unconcerned by the traffic.

That is a rare sight indeed Karl. Very private animals.

We get frequent visits from deer across the fields behind the house, mostly Fallow. Painfully pretty creatures. How could anyone suggest a gun?  :lol: But the Pheasants in the front garden waking us up at 4 in the morning.... that's what the gun is for!

We've quite a lot round here, but you have to be up early for a chance to see any.  Though at night the little blighters like to jump out of the dykes/hedges in front of you.  The most I've ever seen, was when crossing Rannock moor one freezing November night.  Masses of them either side of the road for several miles.  Theory being it was warmer, with heat retained in the tarmac from the sunny day before.

They are there all the time Norm. They are (aparently) very habitual creatures and just go to the same watering hole for years on end. Somtimes regardless of what man puts in their way, including roads, gardens, industrial sites, fences whatever!
