A roe deer leaps through the grass at Chobham common, white rump patch on display.

Roe Deer Scarpering

Location Chobham Common, England

I got the distinct impression that my presence wasn't appreciated by this roe deer and its fellow herdmembers when I stumbled upon their drinking spot. This female gave me a display of its white rump patch as it bounded away through the grass.
