Fallow Camera Trap

On Friday I collected the trail cams from the Woods. One stand had very little activity while the other was reasonably active.

It shows that there are at least four bucks; one yearling, two juveniles and the dominant older buck. As I reported last week the rutting activity is pretty subdued at the moment. This maybe because of the weather or simply that the dominant male has very little competition.

In the clips you can see a stand-off between two juvenile bucks. They seem unsure what to do, so they just stand there! Most activity around the area is at night or dawn / dusk. During the day, they tend to go deeper into the woods.

Next week we’ll be back in Hatfield Forest for our Woodlife Tracker Course. we have ten participants and it promises to be an excellent course.

Until next week…
