Spotting deer

Gorgeous! Are they fallow bucks? (sorry, not sure what y'all have over there, but they sure look like the captive ones I help take care of here)

Just now seeing this thread... BEAUTIFUL photos! There's probably nothing better than wildlife photography, imo. Just being able to see all these gorgeous creatures in their natural surroundings... -sigh-

And some clarification, the deer, if you call them Edel hert, then that would be the Red Deer (Cervus elaphus). Though, the palmate antlers are new to me. Of course, I think they's like 8-9 subspecies, so it wouldn't be surprising if they were all a little different!

And I think it's neat how animals are called different names in different places. Buteo buteo doesn't live in the States, but looks very similar to the Short-tailed Hawk (Buteo brachyurus, I believe) which is found in some southern portions of North America. When we say Buzzard here (at least in the south), we're referring to the turkey vulture, a not-so-pretty feathered friend! xD

No, actually I was wrong. We do have Edel hert in Holland. But these are 'Dam hert'.

This is a 'Edel hert':

Ha ha, that's cool. In Holland we call them 'Buizerd' which sounds pretty much the same as 'Buzzerd' in English.

Is that a Alcedo atthis? That is awesome. It is high on my wishlist. This elusive bird also lives in Holland. But it is very rare and very hard to capture on photo.

It's Alcedo vintsioides--Madagascar kingfisher. It's not rare, but it is hard to capture on photo, at least in my experience. This one happened to be very cooperative.

Ah, okay! Then they're Fallow deer (Dama dama). Which makes more sense with those antlers. THOUGH, I did find a subspecies of Edel hert that frequently has the palmate antlers and even retains some spotting.

Gorgeous avian pictures! Love the Canada goose. Or what looks like the Canada goose... You're photography skills make me so jealous! :bowdown:

Yay, I win! :D

Yep, that is the Branta canadensis. Awesome goose. I believe they are called a pest in England.

Unfortunately, I think they're believed to be a pest in a lot of places in America, too. I don't see them that often in Texas, except maybe flying over head!

And beautiful picture of Carduelis carduelis! I love his little red face!
