Muntjac Deer (Female)

A fortunate sighting this week. 
This delightful little female Muntjac deer wading through water.
This introduced species are very common in UK now. You may not always get to see them though as they are quite secretive and because they are quite small can remain hidden in the undergrowth. A Muntjac can be just a few feet away from you and if it doesn't have an escape route it will sit motionless until you have passed by. One thing you will often hear is the male with its barking call in woodland, but forget trying to find it.
