A glorious Autumn day

Today karen, Taivas, Missy and I walked at Fritham . it was a beautiful warm sunny day and I soon had to take off my fleece. We walked down to the little stream and as we did we heard the roar of a fallow buck, calling his does. We could see them way in the distance. After the dogs had played in the stream we continued and came around behind the deer. The buck was roaring well and although we had good views we were a little to far away for photos. We went on and into the woods where there are several rutting stands , but although we saw plenty of deer prints and we could see where the bucks had been rutting we heard no calls and no deer were to be seen. Out of the woods we let the dogs off the leads for a while , but we soon disturbed some fallow does hiding in the heather.. We spent three hours enjoying the dun and the sights of the forest before we took two tired but happy dogs home.
