Persian Fallow Deer

He’s a real beauty dressed in his spotted coat and sporting lovely velvet covered antlers. According to the Safari Park leaflet this is a very rare species of deer, nearly extinct in the wild.

In the extra photos ..... two thirsty youngsters, enjoying a drink and a paddle.

Great weather today ...... first time for weeks that I have really felt the warmth of the sun ..... hoping for more of the same over the holiday weekend.
