Lifer two

Lifer two (Muntiacus reevesi)

A Muntjac wandered down through the grass near where the Mallard had been.

Knew I'd never seen one of these before and pointed it out to other people in the hide; they told me what it was. We don't get them in Scotland, at least not round here.

So hot on the heels of the morning's Lifer, Hobby, this was a tick I didn't even plan for LOL.
