the

DEER DIARIES

(and other nature too)

Welcome to my blog

I decided to call my blog ‘The Deer Diaries’ as initially, I was very focused on the local roe deer. 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.
