I love the deer as well and yes they are timid (probably for good reason). You were lucky to get so close. This is a lot for a first day. I am amazed at the number of birds you were able to see and identify ... You could go home now and have had more sightings than I have in a weeks, maybe even a months time. Looking forward to your next days ...<br /><br />Andrea @ From The SolAndrea @ From The Solhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00657271089899579261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1129438419127484980.post-76026786787567417222014-02-02T05:52:43.100+10:002014-02-02T05:52:43.100+10:00HI BL Many thanks for comment and indeed i will r...HI BL Many thanks for comment and indeed i will remember it for ever.Margaret Birding For Pleasurehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00400663056547331997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1129438419127484980.post-91912262715104998872014-02-02T05:46:24.129+10:002014-02-02T05:46:24.129+10:00Fascinating photos, Margaret.
