Eight weeks in the woods, and winter was arriving early.
By the end of this week things were very much hanging in the balance.
This week, I mentioned walking right into the middle of a herd of deer, without them being any the wiser. In this video, I am standing between two oaks growing closely together and this hind has no idea I am there. The video is not the best (it was taken on my old Canon SX20IS camera, rather than a dedicated video unit), but it serves to show how close you can get to wild animals, if you are either careful, lucky, or a combination of the two.
