This afternoon i have been out the back with the family, The kids were running around or on the trampoline screaming their heads off. My spaniel was charging about like an idiot,he seems to forget he's 12 at times.
Suddenly my little girl who's over by the brambles chasing the chickens starts shouting, "Dad I've found something, I think its a baby". She charges back to me & then drags me running back towards the spot. Were about 10 metres away when I see a young muntjac happily feeding in the brambles. It didn't seem bothered that we were there, despite all the noise & movement.It definately knew we were there, in fact it seemed more concerned when we stood still & watched it. After a while it wandered off through the brambles.
Is this normal for young, as I thought these little buggers were right windy & disappear at the slightest disturbance.
My little girl must have originally been only 1-2 metres away from it.
