Have I got both Roe and Fallow deer in here.

Taken at Loch of the Lowes in late October. I've never seen one with such dinky little horns LOL. There was another with slightly longer ones.

All Fallow: The long muzzle length and absence (on the dark animals) of white rump are easy pointers away from Roe: additionally Fallow is considerably bigger, so given that you have a classically spotty Fallow in one shot and the animal with it is of equal size, Roe is automatically ruled out.

Thanks very much T.O and John.

As you can see, it was a bit dim in there. At what age do they get their horns?
