I thought as much. She didn't seem overly threatened by me, as she bounced and weaved a few hundren metres out of sight, then I saw her again as I walked along the trail, where she did the same again. She was surprisingly quiet making her way through the leaf litter and over dead fall.
Roe buck with one antler.

How does something like that come to be Paul? Is it just part of development, waiting for the other to catch up, or has it been lost in a struggle of some kind?
Great little clip mate. It's cool the way they catch a glimmer of the IR illuminator, out of the corner of their eye, then look up to check
They shed them every year in the onset to winter and re-grow them.
They chew on the shed antlers to gain nutrients.
Thanks buddy. I only ever knew reindeer shed their antlers, never realised roe did it too
Here's a video from last week of a Roe doe and one of last years youngsters.
The squirrel in the background gave her a bit of a startle.
Note that tracking sign here would include browsing on the leaves and the slippage on the log.
