Sika are just wonderful animals. They have the most expressive faces and are incredibly curious. Although these Sika wont let you get too close, they are a lot more used to people than my local Roe deer and so will tolerate a little more intrusion. This, I think, is one of last years young.
What a great close up!! Boom & Gary of the Vermilon River, Canada.
ReplyDeleteSika are fabulous I agree. I made a radio programme on the sika rut at Arne in 2009 and still get a thrill remembering being there in moonlight as the eery whale-like song of the males rutting carried over the countryside. they may be introduced, but I love them too.
