Whenever I take a morning walk around Barton Meadows Nature Reserve, I am hoping that I will come across some local wildlife. The most likely encounter – aside from the birds – will be the deer. I don’t always take the camera with a long lens on these walks since they are more about getting some exercise in before starting work, but I do worry that I will encounter something special when I don’t. I had seen three deer in the middle of one field so assumed I was done with deer. Then, as I came up to the corner of another field, I saw one walking along the fence line. I tried not to disturb it by staying behind the hedge and got the phone out. Eventually it spotted me and ran a short distance before stopping, turning to face me and staring. Then it ran away. Here is the phone video I got.
