Roebuck on a River Bank (Capreolus capreolus)

Saw this one last week and brought my scope, camera and Lee Rue blind yesterday. It's funny how they register the shallow river as an additional safety distance. Used about 40x magnification and 3x camera zoom.
Habitat
River Bank
Location
River Sieg, Hamm, Germany
Date taken
May 15th, 2015
Scientific name
Capreolus capreolus
Equipment used
Kowa Prominar 883, 30x, Sony RX 100 II
Not far away from my home. Nice picture. Interesting to see the change from winter to summer fur. And look at these ticks at his neck.

Last year I had the opportunity to make a short movie of a doe while one of the ticks just dropped itself after sucking itself full with blood.
