Narrow escape from deer destruction

First thing this morning there was a deer in the front garden! It looked as if it, and possibly friends, had been there a while. The pheasant bush has been nibbled (see footprints) but thankfully the tastier morsel of the rose beyond the fence was safe.

In its panic to escape it managed to squeeze round the fence into the back garden, but with me on its tail, it didn't pause long enough to eat - just went flying through the back hedge. The gap and the back fence have now been made safe - thank you, Orson!

Narrow escape (for us).
