Garden raid on our raspberry harvest
Some four-legged visitors have been helping themselves to the raspberries in our garden.
I had noticed a few suspicious nibbles in the raspberry patch so I set up a trail camera and discovered a group of deer munching away.
Since then I have recorded a mother and her fawn, a buck and a muntjac.
I had hoped to film the deer drinking from the stream, but the camera caught a mother duck with her young family instead.
They were followed later by a heron wading slowly through the water.
Happy to report that the wildlife aren’t being too greedy and we are still finding plenty of fruit to pick for ourselves.
