Deers

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.
