I guess from the mist, the water was walmer than the outside air temperature as well.

Sat there and just watched them from the cockpit with a coffee in hand. They were nice animals, good size. Hinds yearlings and Fawns.

We ran a few Pest Control courses out of Picton back then

About 20mins by fizz boat from where you saw the deer.Pigs have been a bit thin on the ground around this way latley which is a bit unusual.Still the odd deer showing up and still the odd poacher.
