Woodland Deer

If you keep your eyes open as you walk through the forest it's amazing what you can spot. Throughout Brinken Wood, Deer in groups of 2 or 3 were resting amongst the stands and fallen trunks, you could easily pass them unawares, they though are aware of you, but unless they perceive you as a threat they remain still and wait for you to pass. I've noticed over the last few years they have become too accustomed to people. Their reaction to humans differs from their county side cousins, for example, out at Clearbury the Deer saw us coming a mile off and were gone, barking loudly.  Whilst in the forest they often allow you to get too close for their safety, not all humans are benign.
