Fashion Queen Doe
This deer had got it’s antlers caught up in some discarded building sacks and obviously had no means to remove it (and I imagine no one could get close to help). It was a sad sight to see it trudging around with this stuff trailing … Read More →
What you looking at?
There’s a copse in the middle of Phoenix Park where I discovered about 6-7 grey squirrels living, and didn’t seem too bothered by me. I came upon them quite by chance whilst cutting back to the main road.

Deer Panoramic
Perhaps not quite the last deer photo but I’ll really really try to get a better selection of photos queued up for next month
