S3700002.JPGThis morning while riding along the tow path I was joined by 3 Deer! Amazing, needless to say I was not quick enough with my compact, alas.
They ran in front of me for approximately 100yds before leaping into the trees.

I often have groups of 10 pheasants running along the path ahead of me... Though I have never had close encounters of the deer kind.. Nice Shot ;D
Hi Dave.. it's on my daily commute in Leicestershire. Three miles of countryside and two of city. The light was just incredible that morning!
There is lots of wildlife about at the moment. Last night I had an Owl fly out just in front of me missing me by a foot or so. It then flew in front of me for what seemed like ages. Then rabbits trying to jump under my tyres. Finally there was a crazy badger on the path running straigh towards me. It looked like a moving carpet, and seemed to be playing chicken with me!
lovely pic, where's it to?
No deer, but caught this on Tuesday morning... lovely light!

I was riding through Wychwood a while back when a deer wandered out on the path, I slowed, it turned and looked at me and then wandered nonchalantly back into the forest. Magical moment.
Yarrump - my dog's one of those that barks at bikes. Bit embarrassing for obvious reasons
I am jealous all I have seen are a few foxes and domestic cats. Some dogs like barking at bicycles but no real wildlife.
what a moment, sounds lovely.
