Field Notes

Description:

Some of the herd of fallow dear that mainly live in parkland although can also be seen in the woods and farmland. There are a number that seem to be albino. Interestingly, there gene is passed on so that we have more each year. The ones outside of the parkland have darker coats on the whole. Only the males have antlers

I've always thought they were one of the prettiest of the deer family. Thanks for sharing Mel.
