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.
