Looking at it positively, a failure is one step closer to success, so it won't be long.
I did manage to spot a fallow doe before the skies turned grey and the sleet started to fall! I could see her grazing through some trees, she had the sun on her back.
Carefully and quietly I crept up as close as I could, until I was no more than 7 or 8 metres away.
There was a lot of bracken in the way and I was finding it hard to get a clear view. Then she spotted me!
As long as you are quiet and calm, fallow deer will stand and look at you for a while before running away, this is when you can get your shot.

Standing or sitting down, is the best way to watch any animal or bird.
ReplyDeleteI was lying down for a while out there today Bob. Very wet and slippy.
ReplyDeleteSaw you at New Fancy just after I got this shot.
