Brilliant capture !! Was he trying to get to the leaves or just having a stretch after yesterdays dump.

@Anthony Lambert: I think it was a bit of both, first a stretch then Mmm tasty leaves, cheers

Is this the same chap as yesterday?
If so he's a bit of a poseur isn't he.
All the deer round here run hell for leather at the hint of a human.

@grouser: Yes its the same one, loves the camera. I think it was because they had been rutting and they were all tired out, so they didn't care much as long as you kept your distance.

Beautiful shot! One rarely sees deer so relaxed. Usually they are looking very alert and a trifle wary.

The light here is magical, Alun - wonderfully seen and presented.

You know, a lot of people can get a nice photo of a deer, but this is outstanding. So candid and amazingly beautiful. It almost looks like he's trying to scratch his back. Fantastic, Alun!! This is my photo of the day.

@Les: Thanks very much Les, that's very kind
