Deer and Pettys

The Petty family minus Stuart visited between Christmas and New Year and we took the opportunity to have a walk on one of the coldest days of the year. We looked across to Horton Tower but did not see any deer that day. The pictures of the roe deer are from New Year's Eve in the afternoon when I took the dogs out. There were five of them in the field quite some distance away but they had heard us and can be seen looking at the three of us.

I didn't think they were found together in groups but the link to website indicates they do sometimes agther in groups of up to 14. I have never seen five together before.
