A chance encounter with roe deer

Roger Gaynor was at Fairburn Ings recently and had a super close encounter with roe deer judging from his photo.

Roger says ” I called into Fairburn Ings early this morning before it was busy which paid off with good views of Roe deer in two separate groups of three.  They were between the first part of the Roy Walker trail on the left hand-side walking away from the visitor centre up the hill before the large bittern pond in amongst a young tree plantation towards the river path”.

A great image I’m sure you will all agree and one of which I am jealous!
