Capreolus capreolus
Unlike the red deer herd in my previous post, these roe deer were much more difficult to find in the woodland areas of Potteric Carr, the Yorkshire Wildlife Trust's flagship reserve. Early morning as soon as the light is sufficiently strong for photography is the best time to capture a shot of these fine animals, and especially at the place where they venture to the woodland margin of treeless areas.
I had waited for some time and the light had become quite strong so aiding a decent exposure.

Well worth the time and effort Peter. Ed.

Great captures, always found Row deer to be extremely skittish and hard t photograph.

Isn't patience rewarding? :-) well done getting the shot!

Our White Tail Deer seem similar but more grey ... related?

Kind regards

Roe deer are much smaller than whitetail and of a different scientific classification. Their antlers are usually little more than prongs, unlike the spread of a whitetail's.

Excellent captures - well taken.
