Some photographs showing Fallow Deer Does losing their winter coat on the Ashridge Estate. These deer are wild and not fenced in, and are not owned by the estate. They can be seen regularly in the farmers' fields that border the forest.
A leucistic (white not albino) doe...
... whilst the darker melanistic deer shows a darker, almost black coat emerging from under their moulting coat.
Part of the herd with 2 leucistic deer and a flock of Wood Pigeons in the tree beyond.
