I was disappointed that I had not seen any Roe Deer fawns on the reserve this year. However, I can now relax! As many times before those sneaky little Roe deer have kept a pair of twins hidden from me for several weeks.

The mother has been very secretive and even hiding the fawns in separate fields. I’m guessing at the time of this video they are 2-3 weeks old.

Today I was treated to one of those magical encounters that make all the work on the reserve worthwhile. I had been watching the Roe mother hoping she would bring out one of the youngsters. While i was watching the mother the twins suddenly appeared next to me, so I sat literally a couple of yards away while the two youngsters wandered around me, fabulous.

Hopefully now they are a bit bigger I will see a bit more of them.
