Deer in the Garden

Shot our first video the other day with a camcorder generously lent by a friend. The subject? Our resident deer. The herds of deer at the foot of the Downs are moving ever closer, feeding in full daylight, far from the cover offered by the woodland. One has taken to spending much of her time in the vegetable beds and thick shrubbery at the end of the garden. She was quite unfussed by the camera, except that she pawed the ground and stamped her little foot when she thought we got too close. Persuading her to go elsewhere is obviously not going to be easy. And before you ask, no, St Benedict has nothing to say on the subject!
