And for my last pic, a quiz. Can you identify this small deer? To help, it is an introduced species here.

The one who gave it the name "demoiselle" obviously did not know what it means

I looked it up and it seems that "demoiselle" in english is a synonym of dragonfly

Some great pics Dewi...especially the darters in flight!!

That deer looks very similar to a red duiker.

It looks like a duiker

Great pics, Dewi

Right now I am looking at a documentory from Denamrk and it is incredible the number of animals living in a beautiful forest in the north of the country, that I have never been too. It is beautiful and I feel so nostalgic. If you could be more ceratin of the weather, we would have gone years ago, but........

More clues...

The oldest known deer, males have downward pointing "tusks."

Would love to go to the Northern European countries watching wildlife Lis. Might get a chance one day?

Glad you liked the dragonflies Fluts.

Google says Muntjac deer (origin Chinese) also called "barking deer" -O

Nice one Lis.

Clever girl!

I love the Stoat
"Demoiselles et Libellules", Demoiselle (Zygopter) is one sort and Dragonfly (Anisopter) another one
I have a little booklet very well done about these insects and I've got one today.... but ? can't put a name

Nan, this does not change the fact that there are male "demoiselles"
