In much need of a change of pace, I travel west to the RSPB reserve, Arne, on the shore of Poole harbour. Although well known for its open heathland, oak woodland and bird populations, it was photographing the sika deer that was the primary purpose of my visit. Although they tolerate human presence more readily than other species, it's still no easy task to get good images of these wild animals, and you still need to employ all the necessary precautions to get within range with a telephoto lens.
The deer were originally introduced into UK parks during the 1860's, but escapees established themselves into the countryside.
