Deer en masse

We had nine fallow deer at the back of the house this morning, three fawns who spent their time like any children, hanging out together separate from the adults who were mostly engaged in stealing apples off the Golden Delicious tree. They did this by brilliantly balancing on the back legs and stretching up to pluck the unripe apples off the tree. One fawn lay down at one point but the mother came over and made it get up and join in with the other fawns.
