A new weekend and out on deer watching once again in the New Forest in the Ober Water area.

After getting back to Ober Heath I spotted a group of red deer from afar towards the bushier western part and following the edge of the woods we sneaked up on them in a kilometre long arc. 













not all of us found this so exciting...









 How close did we actually get to the deer?
