We regularly have muntjac deer come into the gardens. I’m always secretly pleased that they loiter - and nibble - in my garden. Mi casa es tu casa! (Pic is deer snacking on a neighbours rose)

The English domestic #T20 competitions are underway today. As I prepare to listen to #SurreyvLancashire in the men's version this post looks back at #EssexvWarwickshire in the women's. Also a #photo gallery.

We're certainly begining to feel settled. We didn't expect to see much #wildlife here. We were spoilt at Ruston House as you can see from my old web site.

However we were surprised to hear #Muntjac #deer the second week after we arrived and pictures of one on the neighbour's front #garden on 22 December.

Why Britain has a deer problem.

Deer numbers have rocketed over the last 40 years and particularly since the Covid-19 pandemic.

Just transferred a month's worth of stuff from my #camera to #computer and found this video shot from our #lounge on 9 May.

You'll notice the #heron immediately, as that was the #focus of my attention. You'll probably notice the pair of #swans before you spot the #muntjac deer in the #background

I just wish I had a good answer to that question or one that might impress.

Around COVID time we had a #raisedbed constructed. The trouble is the #Muntjac. The #deer eat everything, so that's been unused since that first #season. (You can also blame wife's health as a contributory factor.) It's also used in a few window boxes, but that's about it as far as convention goes.

Dare I confess that a lot is mixed with the chippings we generate from storm damaged trees and those that have died and is spread on the paths. The soil is basically peat and as it dries footsteps grind it away exposing tree roots that become a trip hazard. The original idea was that it might help create smooth grass paths, but in such wooded conditions there's little sun and ground that's much above the water table dries out too much for grass.

My wife has suggested giving it away or selling it, but I'm very reluctant to let anything go off site. The ground's low enough as it is.

Elephants' ears are beginning to flower beautifully but the leaves, every last one, have been eaten. Bloody muntjac!
But then, I wanted a wildlife friendly garden, hence I am getting the wildlife, which is satisfying. Ah well …

We're back home, after a week of hospital visits while dog sitting for our son. (Scroll back a few toots to read about that.)

As I knew I would, this morning was one of those days when I regretted leaving my #camera at the cottage. (Scroll even further back!)

A decent #zoom lens would have been really helpful for seeing the #Muntjac #deer to especially the #female grazing on the path.

One good thing about only having my phone and it's wide angle lens was that I could easily push it through the open window and point it in the general direction when the #male was immediately beneath our bedroom.

A better view of the #muntjac #deer taken from our bedroom window.

Already I'm regretting leaving my camera at the cottage. The quality of this video, taken through our patio doors, is not good.
But you do hear Diana's comment about the #heron building it's #nest one stick at a time.

The sudden swing of angle at the end was made in the hope you'd see the bird's landing spot in the trees beyond the lake, but instead it turns as it's still rising to miss the trees.

Also seen are three #Muntjac #deer.

Oops! my server went off line for a period. Perhaps, I missed a maintenance announcement? Hence my delay in reporting the continuing story of tonight's visit by a #heron outside our lounge.

As #sunset began to change the light #tuftedducks and #mallard gathered on the lake behind the heron.

I went to transfer the photos to my computer only to have Diana reporting that now three #muntjac #deer had crossed from the neighbour's field and joined the party.

@Pollinators
I feel a little guilty that, so far, I've only used the #compost to top up some #raised_beds, which have largely been abandoned because the #Muntjac #deer raid just about everything planted in them, and to raise the paths around the site. Most of this part of the site is pure #peat and the slightest footfall wears them away to the point where #tree #roots become a hazard. I mix the compost with any #chippings I generate from fallen #timber.
