Red deer are quite commonly seen here, by day or by night

04. March 2024 - Wildlife

We can see the local red deer any time of year, but most frequently in the spring.

Sometimes we see them naked-eye in in the daytime, sometimes close and sometimes far away. We also catch them on wildlife/security cameras at night.

Here are a few such photos from different dates. Also a daytime video from a solar-powered camera mounted on a tree adjacent to a gully, and a night-time video of a herd of deer within 20 yards of our house.
