the

DEER DIARIES

(and other nature too)

Welcome to my blog

Have you ever had an urge to try something different? To put yourself ‘out there’ a bit more. I thought I’d give it a go, and ‘The Deer Diaries’ is the result.

I decided to call my blog ‘The Deer Diaries’ as initially, I was very focused on the local roe deer. For years I never used to see any, but now I realise they were always there; I just wasn’t looking hard enough! However, when waiting for and watching the deer, other animals and birds would appear. I was especially excited when I found badgers, foxes, and hares. So, the blog features all the animals and birds that I photograph, not just deer.

Thanks for visiting and feel free to get in touch. Your comments are most welcome.
