Tadmarton Heath: two pairs of ears

two young Roe Deer sat in the grass at Tadmarton Heath

I've grabbed a few opportunities to get out in the field in the past few days, checking out a few off-the -beaten track sites.  I have "bumped into" a lot of Roe Deer on my travels, most memorable were these two youngsters sat in the long grass at Tadmarton Heath BOS nature reserve. Eventually my presence spooked them and the hidden doe Roe Deer led them off down the hillside.
