Saturday special!

Enough of the world of spying and whistleblowing and back to stuff that is really important!

Many will recall that on the 10th October, under the heading of Utterly beyond words!, I wrote about a deer befriending us to the point that Jean was able to stroke its neck as it was feeding.  The post included this photograph.

Then, unbelievably, the wild deer continues feeding as Jean fondles the deer's ear.

Inevitably, being the softies that we are, we have continued to put out feed, in the form of cob or cracked corn, most days.

The word among the local deer population clearly has been passed around!

For here’s a photograph taken automatically on the night of the 19th October.

Time of the shot was a little before 5am.

Then on the 22nd, just three days ago, these photographs were taken shortly after 10am.

Party time!
More food and it isn’t even supper time!

oooo

Come on ladies, eat up! You never know when a dog will charge around the corner!

That’s more like it!

One fear that Jean and I had was that they would become vulnerable to an attack by our dogs.  But the deer have quickly wised up to when dogs are being let out of the front or kitchen doors and are off like darts into the forest just a few yards away.

We treasure seeing them each day.
