Deer in the garden

Yesterday I looked out of my window only to find a deer very happyly munching away at all my plants .It seem to enjoy eating my winter pansys.I did not want to go outside and spook it because if it blotted down the garden it could have run into my green house and hurt its self. So I did manage to get a couple of photos to show you

Very cute the first time around, but not something you want to experience on a regular basis, especially if you value your prized plants.

Great photos Donna. Very cute. He is so small. Is this an adult? He is quite different looking to the deer we have here.
I agree with Louise though.....If you have roses, he'll eat all your buds in the spring. :o)

He's lovely ( in someone else's garden lol )
Thanks for taking the photos to show us. I'm sorry he ate your plants though.

Oh brilliant you lucky thing......I know you may have lost a few pansy heads, but you got some great photos.......

Is that a Muntjac? It looks different to the ones we get in the woods around here. I'd love to see one - but NOT in the garden, as I think they eat most plants, don't they? Not just pansies.....

The forest is at the top of my garden he must off come from there. He was lovely to watch and see Did not enjoy him/ her eating my plants Never mind

Hope he/she doesn't come back for your sake - nice to look at yes, ruin on plants absolutely...

Beautiful photos, shame about the pansies but such a thrill to see such a shy animal close to.

Lovely pics Donnah. I think that he is a Muntjac Spritz.

ToTo He is a chinese water deer They are a bit taller than the monkjacs
