Once again I've been lucky with one of my cameras. Still no big cat, but I got a number of video's of a small group of Roe Deer, in a small wood on private land in the south of Kintyre. The group seems to comprise of a mature buck, with some nice large antlers, a smaller younger buck just starting to grow his antlers. Two or possibly three females. One with one fawn and one with twin fawns. I'll post these video's over the next few weeks.
The first one is of the larger Roe Deer buck, you can clearly see him rubbing his antlers against a fallen branch. This video was taken at about 3:00pm on the 13th July 2010
The strange thing is, the owners of the land had remarked that they hadn't seen any deer for weeks, and wondered if they had moved elsewhere. They were also only aware of one buck and a couple of females with one fawn. I'm pleased that we can show there are a lot more deer hiding in their woods than they thought. It just shows how well these animals are able to blend into their surroundings.
