That Time of the Year

With the sun making daily appearances and it all going green out there, the wildlife is much more busy. Not just the adults, there are lots of little ones out there. So far I have spotted ducklings, baby Coots and baby rabbits, all on or along the canal. For the first time I spotted a fallow deer. I have seen several Muntjac deer, which are about the size of a large dog, along the canal, but until now the only Fallow deer I have seen have been have been farmed. Sadly I wasn’t able to grab a picture of the Fallow, she was far to skittish

Baby animals are so cute, soon I will see baby birds coming to our feeders. Baby ducks and bunnies are my favorite.

Are you showing us the baby animals because your wife is having a baby soon?

@Ronrybs I hope not, too, then. We've been seeing baby bunnies in our back yard, too.

In Scotland there is the Wildcat, and all over the country is foxes and badgers. We have no big predators remaining having been hunted out a few hundred years ago

I have only ever seen fallow deer in parks, like Ashton Court in Bristol. We get the occasional roe deer around here. Last autumn one took to coming to our garden for a morning rest for a few days. Other than that it's just muntjac all the time.

Not seen them myself, but I am told that they come into street and help themselves to the flowers. We are quite a way from the wilds, so they must be pretty bold
