I do like this month, little vegatation, light sunny mornings and evenings. On my daily train commute I saw 10 roe yesterday morning and 14 last night. Most i have seen is 34 one evening.
In about 1 hour which I think only 40 mins is rural I expect I will pass up to 40 + roe all within 250m of the track, so there is quite a healthy roe population. Mainly small familly gps of 3-4 and solitary bucks at present. Intrestingly I see few foxs, 1 a week is good going, although I saw a lovely one in fine fettle this am, train was crawling due to line side works.
Its should be noted that roe do seem to be creatures of habit and I see the same groups in similar places. Intrestingly lots on maize stubble this week!!
Will have a serious total up at the month end to get some idea of density.
