Roe Deer - CZJ 135MCS - 400d-1158

Female roe deer (Capreolus capreolus). Family: Cervidae.

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.

Camera: Canon 400D DSLR
Lens: Carl Zeiss Jena MC Sonnar 135mm F/3.5
Settings: F/5.6, 1/80s, ISO 400, braced against tree trunk to steady shot.
