I send greetings to all your good old friends here in TN and am looking forward to seeing your great pictures. Very long time I did not share any pictures here.
I hope that I'm back.

This young Roe Deer was lying near the path, his mom was gone. He was very calm, did not mind him, my movement around him. We just lay there and watched me. I took a few shots of distance 1.5-2m camera of handheld. It was very early morning light in the forest was little.
Have a nice day.

Roe Deer (Capreolus capreolus)
/Srnec obecný/

The European Roe Deer, also known as the Western Roe Deer or chevreuil, is an Eurasian species of deer. It is relatively small, reddish and grey-brown, and well-adapted to cold environments. Roe Deer are widespread in Western Europe, from the Mediterranean to Scandinavia, and from the British Isles to the Caucasus. It is distinct from the somewhat larger Siberian Roe Deer.
In the Czech Republic is Roe Deer the most widespread cloven-hoofed animals.
The Roe Deer is a relatively small deer, with a body length of 95–135 cm (3.12–4.43 ft), a shoulder height of 65–75 cm (2.13–2.46 ft), and a weight of 15–30 kg (33–66 lb). It has rather short, erect antlers and a reddish body with a grey face. Its hide is golden red in summer, darkening to brown or even black in winter, with lighter undersides and a white rump patch; the tail is very short (2–3 cm or 0.8–1.2 in), and barely visible. Only the males have antlers. The first and second set of antlers are unbranched and short (5–12 cm or 2.0–4.7 in), while older bucks in good conditions develop antlers up to 20–25 cm (8–10 in) long with two or three, rarely even four, points. When the male's antlers begin to regrow, they are covered in a thin layer of velvet-like fur which disappears later on after the hair's blood supply is lost. Males may speed up the process by rubbing their antlers on trees, so that their antlers are hard and stiff for the duels during the mating season. Unlike most cervids, roe deer begin regrowing antlers almost immediately after they are shed.
The Roe Deer is primarily crepuscular, or primarily active during the twilight, very quick and graceful, lives in woods although it may venture into grasslands and sparse forests. It feeds mainly on grass, leaves, berries and young shoots. It particularly likes very young, tender grass with a high moisture content, i.e., grass that has received rain the day before. Roe deer will not generally venture into a field that has had or has livestock (sheep, cattle) in it because the livestock make the grass unclean. A pioneer species commonly associated with biotic communities at an early stage of succession, during the Neolithic period in Europe the Roe Deer was abundant, taking advantage of areas of forest or woodland cleared by Neolithic farmers.

Hello Milos,
Very very pleased to see that you are back. I had a look to your gallery about a month back and was regretting your absence.
This is really a cute creature, this little bambi (this was my name at the scouts). Very fine and emotional shot. Love the attitude of the Roe deer-baby and so nice to have this fine green vegetation in front of it.
Hope we will see more pictures from you!
Kind regards
Anne

Hello Milos,
Welcome back to TN!
A fine capture of this Roedeer kid that you were able to approach to make fine use of your macro lens. The low POV, sharpness, colours and composition all contribute to an appealing portrait of this youngster.
Thanks and have a good weekend,
Ivan
