Roe Deer, Cormorant, Pinkfeet

A relatively calm morning and fairly quiet on the bird front.  A group of four Roe Deer were walking along the top edge of the field behind the hide, and several Cormorants were on the submerged posts, as usual.  At 08:16 a small group (28) of Pinkfeet went over, heading roughly NE, as have several other skeins in the last few days. 

When I reached Turnough Lane, I surprised the same group of Roe Deer in the bull field, and although rather close initially, they immediately ran off.
