Making deer friends...

... in the spring conditions this afternoon. Wandering around the deer park by Fountains Abbey, I came across a large group of grazers who didn't seem particularly fazed by my presence, probably because the wind was blowing towards me.. 

All was fine until we were joined by someone who hurried towards the group intent on photographing them using their mobile phone. Within two minutes you couldn't see deer within 300m. Sadly they didn't stampede towards the idiotic intruder. That would have been some blip!
