DeerCam outside the front gate

Every winter the deer turn up outside the front gate to browse on the ivy growing on the fence.  They don't eat it all in one go, which gives me time to see what is happening and put out a trail camera.  This is the best set of night-time photos of roe deer I have managed so far.  The doe triggered 5 photos in 5 minutes as she moved nearer to the camera so I presume she wasn't bothered by the flash.  The second deer, probably a youngster, was in only the first photo but may have moved around the corner.

Roe deer are small.  To give you an idea, the fence is 4 ft (1.2m) high.
