I couldn't resist this little one at Holkham yesterday. A perfect Bambi...

Thanks Kev, I'm currently on my deer stalking level 1 course. I need as much ID practice as possible. Exam, on Tuesday.

I can confidently say that's a fawn Fallow. It's a really nice shot as it shows the line of coalescing spots towards the bottom of the flank, eventually, they will become an almost solid line.

I can't sex it. The lack of a penis brush (yes, that's a thing for identifying fallows) makes me think it's a female, but the slight Adam's apple (yep, another Fallow identifier) leads me to think it's a male. See my predicament!

I'll get an opinion from the instructors tomorrow.

Lol, definitely a Fallow, that's all they have there

That's one point, I just need another 39!

It's only weird if you let it be!

Sounds like there is nothing to see, according to uncle, I think he has been looking closely
