Still, was very nice to see.

Edit, not unusual for me to see fawns from time to time but this one had me convinced I was looking at a dog.

This was through some low ferns. It was stalking some piglets. But didn't sneak along like a cat. Reasonably quiet.

One of the boys had a fully wooded lee Enfield open sight and the other one a sporterised lee Enfield with a scope. I took a couple of pictures through my binocular because it is not that common to see a hunter with fully wood 303. One of the picture shows the girl with her thumb and index spread as if she was discrbing something small... to the two lads :-)

We were in the same area. We even saw the same pretty girl. And good looking 303.
It had a very light colours wood stock. A number 4 mk 3

When we got there there were so many people the cars were parked down the road.
