Interesting pics strongy.
Particually like the reflections one.
Never heard of sika deer, are they roaming wildish, or is that a fence I see in the distance.

 

Pete, they were introduced into UK, Scotland and Ireland around the 1860's, this herd I think are free roaming. They could probably jump the fences. I could have walked up to them but I wouldn't.
Not a good day for pics, misty and cloudy but the lack of wind made good water reflections.

 

Great shots Strongy

Love the chaffinches
