October 2019 Roe Deer doing well on my local patch

If I get up early just after sunrise I can almost guarantee to catch sight of one om my favourite mammals the Roe Deer.  There are yearlings, older does and a prime buck.  They are great to observe and I always enjoy their company especially if there is a lovely morning light.

Lovely out in the open

beautiful doe
There was one doe where I was not sure about its health.  It seems to be loosing quite a lot of its fur.
It looks a bit like mange that occurs in foxes.  I am not sure about this and will have to do some more research.

Not quite so healthy looking
Perhaps someone out there may know more about this.
Anyway they are great company and I always enjoy seeing them.
