Roe in snow! Help needed for images for book on Roe deer

[JulesCox]

Hi everyone

It's a few years since I last posted here. One or two may remember I was working on a book on Roe deer and asked for help with roe in heather. Then my son came along and the last three years all plans went out of the window!!!

Ive managed to get some lovely stuff over the summer including roe in meadows:

and blooming heather (blog going up in a couple of weeks).

This winter I want to get shots of roe in snow. The last 5 years have been terrible for there being no snow in the south of England so I'm thinking of doing it up in Scotland. Can anyone help with providing me access to a site which gets good amounts of snow and there is a good population of Roe?

Obviously the further north the greater the chance of !

Anyone wanting to check my credentials and that I'm not an anti hunting, tree hugger can check out the posts of my deer friend TerryC who posted regularly here and very sadly passed away a couple of weeks ago. I want to complete the project in his memory and get it out to celebrate this beautiful species that was so dear to him

Your photos are amazing and the one with the 2 magpies on the bucks back is something I have never seen before. Something special. As I only have an Iphone I cannot help but hopefully there are some on here that can lend a hand.

I'll second Chris. That is a lovely six pointer buck with the magpies sitting on him.

Happy to cooperate.
I took these pictures in 2008, on October 3. It was the early snow and the roes were still wearing the summer coat.
If you need more pictures please be patient, and hope it will snow.
Cheers

Hi guys

thanks for the feedback so far and comments on my images.

Just to clarify, I am looking for a good site that gets a fair amount of snow in winter and has a good population of roe. I am hoping to get images of roe standing family groups in open fields in virgin snow with maybe a dark wood behind.

The book will be all my own work so have to do it all the hard way!

cheers

Jules

I can just immagine the mental conversation between the first magpie landing on the buck's back and the second one coming along.
" Oh, wow. I've never seen that before, I'd best be quic..JESUS F^*kin' Christ, where's me camera????"
