I thought I'd get this one started for the year with a couple of likely lads that got in the fat ball container & then the lid must have fallen back after them! I think they are field (wood) mice.
I released them in the vines & ran home so they couldn't follow me! LOL

Slightly larger than a Mouse, but similar in colour.!! :-) You can't miss the distinct white back end of a Roe Deer.

Lovely photos Hazel, now someone was just asking about uses for the
fat ball containers!!!
Good shot Paul, right place right time.
Lot to learn
I wonder if the deers white b*m serves the same purpose as a rabbits? It looks very dry there Paul!

Don't know about rabbits but they say a deer flashes the white patch as a scare tactic when threatened. Is that the same?

It sounds the same to me, although "distraction" might have been a better term for me to use than "scare".
Thanks for that Hazy, it more or less confirms what my dad told me when I was a nipper. They run straightish & then turn suddenly & the chaser goes straight on still following the line of the white tail! Nature is wonderful isn't it.
