“🎶Lazy Sunday afternoon 🎶”
When does a ditch become a footpath? 🤔 I was relieved to see Willow back with both Tig and Bracken this morning. For a few days, I'd only been seeing one of her kids wandering aimlessly. 🦌🦌 Hare Leap Ditch is now totally dry. #RoeDeerDiary #roedeer #Roe #Springwatch #deer
Yesterday afternoon, Willow was back with one of her kids. 🦌🦌 #roe #deer #RoeDeerDiary #roedeer #BBCSpringwatch #Springwatch #trailcameras #wildlife #nature #conservation #mammals
With a glint in his eye 🦌 A still of Corky in pursuit of Willow this morning, during one of their countless courtship chases 🦌 #roe #deer #RoeDeerDiary #roedeer #BBCSpringwatch #Springwatch #trailcameras #NatureLover #conservation #mammals #roebuck #wildlife
A lovely intimate clip of a Roe deer feeding her youngsters by @davidwinspear1 It is so difficult to catch these moments on camera. Although there is luck involved, there's a lot of skill getting the camera placement right 👌 Beautiful footage 😍🦌👏
If you turn up the volume you can hear Deerdie calling one of the kids back to feed. They communicate using high pitched squeaks. You can also hear the suckling noises too. So lucky to catch these intimate moments📷 @BritishDeerSoc @RoeDeerDiary
Lonely child 🦌 While Willow is off galavanting with Corky, the kids look like they've been abandoned. They haven't. From birth, they are used to spending time alone and regularly reunite 🦌 #roe #deer #RoeDeerDiary #roedeer #BBCSpringwatch #Springwatch #trailcameras #wildlife
Willow calling for her kids 🦌🦌 While she's been engaged in courtship with Corky, her kids will be left alone for hours on end. Yesterday, she took a break from Corky and was calling them. 🦌🦌 #roe #deer #RoeDeerDiary #roedeer #BBCSpringwatch #Springwatch #trailcameras
After several weeks of courtship chases, Willow is now showing that she is receptive to Corky's pursuits and is ready to mate. 🦌🦌 #roe #deer #RoeDeerDiary #roedeer #BBCSpringwatch #Springwatch #trailcameras #NatureLover #conservation #mammals #wildlifephotography
He's a few more clips of 'the happy couple', Willow, and Corky from yesterday's efforts. 🦌🦌 No sound 🔇 so cheesy music added 🎵 #roe #deer #RoeDeerDiary #roedeer #BBCSpringwatch #Springwatch #trailcameras #NatureLover #conservation #mammals #wildlifephotography
Willow and Corky continue their courtship. ❤️ Yesterday provided plenty of footage of the pair together, including this sequence of chases. 🦌🦌 #roe #deer #RoeDeerDiary #roedeer #BBCSpringwatch #Springwatch #trailcameras #NatureLover #conservation #mammals
Can you remember the days when you were hardly bigger than a sycamore leaf? 🤔🦌 Bracken or Tig this afternoon 🦌🦌 Apologies, no sound 🔇 #roe #deer #RoeDeerDiary #roedeer #BBCSpringwatch #Springwatch #trailcameras #NatureLover #conservation #mammals
Caught on camera, actually it's caught in camera 🐞🐞 This little bug must have been in the camera for 24 hours. It's now been given it freedom 🐞🐞 #RoeDeerDiary #wildlife #trailcameras #NatureLover #Springwatch #buglife #insects
A sequence of Willow and her kids Bracken and Tig yesterday morning 🦌🦌 There's an audio problem on this camera, so I added the cheesy music 🦌🦌 #roe #deer #RoeDeerDiary #roedeer #BBCSpringwatch #Springwatch #trailcameras #nature #wildlife
A lovely clip of Belle this afternoon 😍🦌 #roe #deer #RoeDeerDiary #roedeer #BBCSpringwatch #Springwatch #trailcameras #wildlifephotography #NatureLover
After days of chasing Willow, Corky finally had a bit of time to himself yesterday afternoon. 🦌🦌 #roe #deer #RoeDeerDiary #roedeer #BBCSpringwatch #Springwatch #trailcameras #roebuck #NatureLover #conservation #mammals
Family meal 🦌🦌 Yesterday's efforts included this clip of Belle with her 11 week old kids, Pip, and Squeak browsing together. 🦌🦌 #roe #deer #RoeDeerDiary #roedeer #BBCSpringwatch #Springwatch #trailcameras #naturecommunity #mammals
Courtship chasing ❤️🦌 Normally, I only catch a glimpse of courtship chasing as they flash past the camera, but last night, Willow and Corky obliged by giving us a better view 🦌 #roe #deer #RoeDeerDiary #roedeer #BBCSpringwatch #Springwatch #trailcameras
Nosy kid early this morning 🦌 #RoeDeerDiary #roedeer #wildlife #nature #conservation #mammals #BBCSpringwatch #Springwatch #trailcameras #NatureLover
Willow followed by her youngsters Bracken and Tig as the sun came up yesterday morning. 🦌 This is a new camera location for me. 👍 #roe #deer #RoeDeerDiary #roedeer #BBCSpringwatch #Springwatch #trailcameras
Splitting hares!! As usual, cameras picked up a few hares yesterday. I noticed one had a distinctive split in one of its ears. 👂 I'm not sure whether it's an injury or a natural defect. 🤔 Apologies for the poor quality pics. They're stills from video. #RoeDeerDiary #hares
