Mother and Child

Such a good day.  My first day of freedom after self isolation for a week and I was out early to collect the trail cam.

After breakfast I joined L at the stables and walked out with her across the Chase.  There is a new addition to the yard, a three day old foal called Rook.  We spent ages just watching her antics in the paddock.  How amazing that at such an early age she is already galloping around the field with abandon.  It was wonderful to just stand and watch.

Following on from the theme, here is a short video of another newish arrival, captured on the trail cam,  that is now about 3 weeks old. I want to call it a fawn but reading various articles on the internet indicates that for red deer, calf is the appropriate noun.
