The first appearance was a fleeting glimpse of retreating fur in the woods at the edge of the village. Next day I heard them in the woods close by our fields and the day after I found fresh spraint on the footpath by our top field. They were definitely getting closer and a couple of days later we had the live animal in the top field, in fact three of them. One approached the house a few days later allowing me to get this crude photo. Now a week later they have even been kind enough to leave some small antlers on the front lawn. It does make my plan to plant some apple trees a bit more problematical but we are enjoying their presence nonetheless.
