A Good Night's Work

The deer will have been out all night so by the time the early morning walkers step onto the moor they are often on their way back to their hidden refuge like the good night-shift they are. On the day before we adjust our clocks, arriving at 7.30 am we can see them still feeding. There were two stags and some hinds. One stag was straining his eyes to pick out our presence in the dim light.


Later, on our way back the sun had risen and it was possible to see him better now clearly heading for home.
