You will be pleased…

From this log it would jump up to the bird feeders to get some seed.

This Roe Buck at Far Pastures was chasing another one around a field when I arrived. The one that was getting chased jumped over a fence onto the road right in front of the car. This one just looked at me breathing hard after the exertion.

Then looked around to see where the other one had gone.
