Excellent as always. Was this using the 500mm, & if so, how close were you to the deer?

Thank you. Yes, they were taken with the 500mm. He was probably about 30m away.

Cheers all.

This was the first photo I meant to upload - better done from the laptop rather than the iPad! Also a better one of it grooming itself.

Nice pictures, they make a Munty almost look nice! After they have ripped, slashed & stabbed their victims, they can cry giant crocodile tears through their giant tear glands, as they hover over the corpse of yet another dog walkers Labrador.

Whilst not as attractive as roe, I have to confess to a growing admiration for muntjac. They have adapted perfectly to the UK environment.

Whilst we have what is largely a shoot on sight policy, nonetheless I enjoy watching and studying muntjac. Fortunately I have plenty of opportunity to do that round here, hence the photos. I watched one this morning mooching through a reed bed, perhaps a closer ecosystem to its native one. Other than when bedded down they seem to be constantly on the move.

A friend of ours had a very expensive vet bill for their springer spaniel after an altercation with a muntjac buck, and I've impaled myself on their tusks when carrying them to the car. Certainly not to be messed with.

What's more, I still reckon muntjac venison to be the best. I supplied a sample fillet to a customer who has always bought roe venison in the past, and they emailed me to say how exquisite it was. Another convert.

Got to admit I love muntjac as they are the first deer I had seen in person, Although still holding out to see some reds during the rut

Great pictures - wish I had learned to use a camera better.

My 7 year old iPhone is all I use to take photos and that is quite appropriate, as I have the skill level of someone that age.
