Fawn in the Fog

This is another clip from the summer camera trap. I hope to watch this fawn grow over the season and will share it as it becomes available. I am learning the value of placing two cameras at this site, the animals have a lot of potential paths they can take. This was completely missed by the other camera. Love the mood the fog produces.

Fawn in the Rain

I checked my camera trap today and found an ant colony had taken up residence in its nooks and crannies. They were only on the outside but clearly messed up a large number of images as they moved across the camera lens during the last 3 weeks. I have heard of this happening but it was a first for me. I'm not sure how to prevent it either. Fortunately they had not messed up the best video on the card.

The Bond

I recently collected memory cards and was surprised to see this doe cleaning her new fawn in the water. I have an image of her (?) pregnant the afternoon before this was taken. She came into the water twice during the morning but has not returned since. My video camera trap was at a likely badger den which only captured a wet pheasant. A video would have been precious. Technical: the tilt is from slippage of the camera on the tree, cropped to remove camera info
