Death of rare white deer.

A rare white male deer has been hit by a car and killed not far from here. The local paper reported...."It is upsetting. Most people regard seeing a deer as a special event, and seeing a white deer is even more extraordinary. People had a great affection for him and this was a very sad ending for a spectacular animal."

On Autumnwatch last night... there was some great film of Wild Boar roaming the forests around here. With their furry ears and very cute little offspring, it was great to see them up close.On the website www.djsphotography.co.uk you can see some lovely recent photos of the wild boar. Grunt grunt.
