the

DEER DIARIES

(and other nature too)

Welcome to my blog

Have you ever had an urge to try something different? Maybe take a hobby more seriously (though not too seriously right!)? To put yourself ‘out there’ a bit more. Well, I thought I’d give it a go and ‘The Deer Diaries’ is the result.

I’m fortunate in that I can literally walk out the door, cross the road and take in the local nature. With my camera over my shoulder, I’m constantly keeping a look out for anything that moves, or just a nice bit of scenery. I have though got just a little bit obsessed with the 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! So I thought I’d combine my two favourite hobbies,  photography and nature. There will be a lot of updates on the deer I come across, especially ‘Angel’ (she’s explained in a blog post), but there will be other animals, birds and scenery too. I’m really hoping to see the badgers again!

Thanks for visiting and feel free get in touch.
