Thread: Fallow fawn info

When I go 'wondering' with a thermal imager, see a few fallow fawns, some with their mothers, and some by themselves. When by themselves, they lie quite still, except for moving their heads.

A couple of nights ago (around midnight), I was demonstrating a thermal to a customer in a reserve behind Richmond, when I spotted a fallow fawn lying on a bare hillside, about 100 metres away. I can only guess that when we arrived in the car, mum took-off to a nearby 'safe' place, leaving the fawn to lie motionless in the open. When I made a noise, it would turn its head to look, then lie low again. I kicked myself for not having a recorder.
