New Kids on the block

The young Roe deer have been appearing on the reserve more often over the last few days. I think it is because there is now more to eat as new growth appears with the spring.

The triplets from last year appear to have a friend, its an older buck with only one horn. He may even be a buck from the 2022 triplets.

He appears to be a bit more mature than the three youngsters from the 2023 family, see below:-
