Field Notes

Notes:

It was very early morning with heavy rain, so the colors did not come out well. But I like the pictures. They look almost like from dream world. Unfortunately, I could not get other fawn (as you can see in the video, the mother is looking at the other child very carefully).

Thank you very much Jemma! First picture is young father and the mother behind him. Second picture shows mother, father in center and one youth on the right. Other youth went off to get the wild apples from the tree and you can see the mother was really concerned about the child (see the video). :-)

so only the fawns are spotted? This is a great movie! The rain doesn't seem to bother them. If they could,they would probably start singing in the rain!

Thank you Jemma! I agree with you :-)
