Cardboard cutouts?

What a contrast this morning was to yesterday. The weather was grim when Bertie and I set off for our walk at 8.30am when it was barely light enough to see. The rain was relentless but we were sheltered by the trees for much of the time, fortunately. Bertie smelt this group of five deer before I even noticed them and now that he has found his voice he just had to let them know that he was there, even though they couldn’t see him in the long grass.
