We didn't see any but when we got out of the car we were amazed to see an enormous wild female red deer approaching us. She stood on the other side of the cattle grid and didn't seem at all afraid of us, so we went up to the fence at the side of it and she came up to us on the other side of the fence. Blimey, I had no idea red deer were so huge or friendly! She allowed us to stroke her nose then snuffled at my coat pocket. I think people have perhaps been giving her bits of food so she's maybe learned to hang around the parking area. What an experience though! We've only ever been close to deer in an enclosure but as I said, this one was roaming wild. It made our day xSusanMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09622557936441532144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8468906973954014850.post-85039468528869493072014-05-23T14:59:32.876+01:002014-05-23T14:59:32.876+01:00How sweet.
