A good way to wake up

[andrewducker]

I'm not referring to the large, wet dog tongue that was thrust under the duvet in search of my nose.

I'm talking about the deer that I saw out the window on the way back from the bathroom.

My parents keep a set of binoculars by the upstairs bay window that points towards the nearby woods, and having spotted some small blobs I snatched them up and managed to focus in on about 8 deer (all female, so far as I could tell) grazing on the edge of the woods.

I'd been hoping I'd see them, and I'm glad they wandered into view before I head back to Scotland tomorrow.

I love seeing deer, did you happen to notice how much white was on their bum? Then I can tell you what species :)

Also males don't have antlers at this time of year (see this red deer stag I walked into in the Lakes a few years ago)
