Third fawn of the season

One of the hinds gave birth this afternoon — the third fawn of the season. I must have missed seeing it by no more than a minute or two. I was leaving for a No. 1 Line walk and had the camera with me, the 300mm lens already mounted.

Tender moment, gently observed.

Zhoen, she wasn't too gentle when one of the young stags came over to check it out.

Serendipity with the camera. I hope it's warming up for them - and for you, too.

RR, you're right — a stroke of lucky timing. Today's beautifully sunny and calm for the first time in weeks. Still cool, though.
