Bluebells seem like a blue mist sometimes. Bluebell wood are a national treasure. Great footage of the little foreigner. 😊 Muntjac move differently to red and roe, usually jerky movements draw attention, so you think they do it to mimic foliage moving in wind? Our own deer tend to move smoothly in my experience. Of course he knew you were close so maybe he was very nervous, i just wondered if you had any thoughts you might share?
When they know there's a human close by and observing them, they become very anxious, tension builds up in their body, I think this might in part cause them to have jerky movement.
@Roolooth 😊 thank you for replying. Really interesting to hear. Deer are amazing aren't they? Just the other night I saw a young red chewing plants by the motorway totally nonchalant. Yet they'll run if they hear a twig snap in the woods. I suppose we'll never totally understand how they see the world. Great videos BTW!
