Honeysuckle and Deer part 2

A pair of roe deer were near the honeysuckle stump that featured in this blog post in May. I had to run upstairs for my camera – must remember to leave it on the kitchen table overnight when deer may be spottable! – and missed getting a shot of the buck actually eating honeysuckle flowers, but I got some shots through a window (must wash that window more often!) of the pair of them.

The doe appears from behind the azalea

And she comes right round

 I thought those two pink bits in the photo might be Himalayan balsam flowers so I went to check. They are two last blossoms of the azalea whose flowering period, as you can see, is really over.

The pair of them hear the camera click and look straight at me.
They wouldn't have been able to see me because of reflections in the window glass.

And she blinks

You need to enjoy the soft mauve of the flowering Yorkshire Fog grass in the field beyond too.

The buck carries on towards the blueberry bush.
Very few berries ripening as he (or another deer) ate the flowers earlier in the year.

And he hears the camera again

A couple of days ago I wandered round the garden taking honeysuckle shots of where it grows elsewhere. So here follow "honeysuckle and x" shots where the value of x is variable. The deer have plenty to go at where they can reach it.
