Lovely to be back in the Forest of Dean again , this time for Marinas Birthday. We even managed to get a room upgrade from an outside Courtyard to the luxury 4 Poster Suite. The room afforded great views over the Forest and it was clear to see that the Boars had been busy again.
The last visit in April had been elusive of seeing any Boars despite our best efforts. Hopefully this time our luck might be a little better?
We quickly got changed into our walking gear, eager to make use of the daylight hours to get into the Forest before it got too dark.
There had been some rain but had cleared and given way to some sunshine and blue skies. The light was beautiful and I hoped to get some half decent photographs.

We hadn't been walking for very long when Marina motioned me to be quiet. She had spotted three Fallow Deer at very close quarters , and managed the following photos.

No sign of the Boars once again but it didn't matter . The Forest seemed alive as a Muntjac Deer wandered casually in front of us.
