Another nosey parker.

Another one from the airfield.
Generally have big problems getting close to these but mamaged to catch this one un aware. Then the race began and it promptly shot off like a rocket.

What a beauty. Great eye contact and angle but I guess it shot off immediately after this if it's anything like the ones round here. A shame the field isn't planted with heather or bracken- perhaps a word with the famer? :wink:

I like it Major, and I think the fact that its in a crop field tells a better story about these animals and the conflicting needs of wildlife and agriculture, great shot! Just maybe a little more space at the bottom for its virtual feet, but thats a very minor nit.

I like this Major.

It is good that the head is in front of the darker portion of the BKGR and as Nigel mentions the image tells a story.

Well seen and caught.

Cheers

Austin

I really like this. The expression on the Deer's face says it all. With an out of focus foreground I think it is better cropped as it is - but I am no expert :wavey:

Looks tasty, plenty of greens available as well.
