Resting Roe Deer Buck
Male (buck) roe deer (Capreolus capreolus) trying to rest.
Photographed in heavily wooded area in Farnham Park, Surrey, UK. These creatures are extremely shy and elusive in this area, probably because it is a popular dog walking area. Most people are unaware of the deer presence even though there homes overlook the woods. The picture is not the sharpest, but I feel lucky (though it took a lot of effort and time) to have any image.
