Deer on the Downs

[El Gordo]

Lots of muntjac deer where I am, in Berkshire. Most seem to be in the grounds of a local manor house, but they occasionally escape and trot around the lanes. Once, one leapt through one hedge into the hedge on the other side of the lane i was on. It fair startled me. Saw one in my garden once. At the time, I thought that was exciting, though have since talked to people who complain that they wll eat all your flowers and plants if you don't frighten them off.
