Description
Roes are not very common in the heathland around Hilversum, as the area is much too crowded, the pieces of heath are comparatively small and too many people are walking their dogs there. But this lot (actually they were five of them, two were lying down) seems to survive here well under these circumstances. I was glad that they allowed me to get close enough for this shot, not a perfect one from the point of view of a real wild animal photographer, but I admit not to be discontent ...Related content

Lovely. Made me think of a Rien Poortvliet sketch/painting.

Thanks a lot for your very imaginative reaction.
One more thing: please also take a look at my other two galleries here on dA, if you do not know them already:

I shall keep trying. The birds are the most difficult part!

Even a reasonably good photographer needs his bit of good luck, I would say.

You were very lucky indeed to come across such a secretive animal in a family group, in broad daylight and out in the open!!

The interesting thing is that they seem to have got a little less secretive here on the heathland around Hilversum. Can roe get used to people?

I suppose they can but they are certainly very cautious here and, as poaching is quite common, it is with good reason!

I do not think they poach here. That may be an extra explanation of the roes being so relatively tame.

Life finds a way to survive and adapt. Looks like they are doing pretty well.

Many years ago in Dolomites I ran into a pack of chamois: a great emotion!!
