Out of the Midges

Deer have been seen several times lately up on the slopes of Blacka Hill during daylight hours. Having been out for much of the night one expects them to be resting sheltered in trees or bracken. But the cooler wind on exposed slopes is tempting for the absence of midges. The stag on the left has a deformity of his antlers. This is not uncommon and it's possible to see various strange formations. One wonders how it affects them. There were five altogether one of them being a hind. They were last seen moving down the slope with the new King Ecgbert school behind them.
