This young Jackdaw was about as happy as we were for our visit to Bradgate yesterday - overcast and damp with low light values. I am always surprised to see young fallow deer still suckling when mating is in full progress. There were lots of ritual displays evident from decorating the antlers to active fighting and the youngsters were also joining in though never in a good clear area! We spent a time along the stream and were pleased to record deer and squirrels drinking.
