On the 24th August I reported my surprise at sighting a doe Roe Deer that had been unseen since early June suddenly reappearing with a two month old Kid.
Well early AM today she treated me to another surprise by this time reappearing with twins.
I don't know where she has been hiding them but it was a joy to see them out foraging on dot leaves in the middle of the field
Not perhaps the best of images below but it was good to see that the doe was still supplementing the kids diet with occasional suckling.
It looked like this pair of kids were double trouble, One minute they were both together with mum and the next they were at opposite ends of the field and tending to give the doe a bit of a run around while trying to keep a eye on both at the same time.
In the image above she had just caught up with one of them and was then immediately stretching her neck high in the long grass looking for number two and I had to smile when number one in the image below aped its mothers behaviour and started looking as well.
