Two white female (Hinds) Fallow Deer (Dama dama) were casually making their way towards the Deer sanctuary at Bolderwood Farm, far too at ease with the nearby humans. I've seen a few white Deer this winter, but never together; I've heard that there are two of a group of around 20 white fallow deer that roam the forest; I've never seen them. They certainly stick out in both woodland and heath. Their colour is caused by a gene and they are not, as people would think, albinos.
