Ober Deer

Ober Water was a hive of activity; Ponies lazily grazed the lush grass while nervous Deer scanned for threats, a pair of Canada Geese rested, until disturbed by our presence when they strode away and a Heron surveyed the babbling stream for tasty morsels; above pairs of birds swooped and swirled through the damp grey skys, noisily going about their business.  Amongst the  fallow Deer herds a few white Deer are clear to see; there numbers appear to have greatly increased over the last few years.  The recent rain has fed the burgeoning forest and everywhere is vivid green, lush and fresh; the seasonal water courses still flowing with water, retreating but still there.
