These photos were sent in by Alan Bunyan who said he's been trying to get a photo of one of these timid creatures for years. One evening while he was driving
home he spotted a herd of about twelve in the middle of a field.
They were about three miles north of Potters Bar, close to the road in a place called Bell Bar. They appeared to be totally unconcerned about the passing traffic.
As you can see they're well camouflaged among the thistles.
He parked the car and crept back with the camera. Alan said; "The quality isn't as good as I would have liked but the evening was closing in and I was using 10x optical zoom plus 4x digital. They were a fair distance away from me and I knew I had no chance of getting closer to them unseen, so in the circumstances they were not bad."
Rumbled! One of the deer spots the cameraman and the whole herd dashes off into the trees.
