Deer in Glen Etive
Here's some of the locals I bumped into yesterday. After spotting two on the hillside I dropped down into the glen where they were everywhere.

Other days you can wander about amongst them.
I know being down wind helps you to stay undetcted but It's nothing to do with that as they stayed about once they'd seen me.

Good series Phil. #6 is the best of the bunch but I also like # 2 (maybe darken it a little?) and 1 is very good as well

They were asking after you LOL
I thought number 2 the best. It seems the best one when viewed full anyway.

Phil this is a cracking set!
I am amazed you can get so close to them
The stag in no 5 is very impressive, I think he is winking at you
Love no 4

Checked back on the pics and I'm pleased with the sharpness as these were the 75-300mm lens which was cheap and cheerful when I bought it for my film SLR 12 years or so ago.
Being 'slow' it would struggle in poor light but on a bright morning like this it's quite rewarding to get pleasing results from a cheap lens.
