A lesson in nature photography

Still no bats, but I have learned a valuable lesson about taking pictures of critters. As soon as you put the camera in your bag you will come across, and thus startle, something interesting. Which will run away while you're fiddling with lens caps, etc; So here are the departing hindquarters of a buzzard and a deer. Would anyone like to tell me what make of deer this particular butt is associated with?

Hi Rob,
Could be a roe deer. They’re small, reddish brown in the summer, the males have short antlers with about three points and...how can I put this delicately...the white hairs on their butt become fluffy as a powder puff when they’re startled (presumably by some man fiddling with his lens cap).

That's a beautiful Roe deer if ever I saw one.
