This pair a buck and young fawn, have been wandering around the Herons Nest Lane area for at least three weeks.
The fawn clearly latched onto the buck, following him wherever he went.
Whenever they were separated by more than a few steps, one or the other would trot over to be close again.
A few females in the same area had no effect on their relationship.
The fawn is being raised by the buck who seems to be a dedicated single dad.

Thank you for the lovely photo and wonderful story!
You captured such a special moment… Keep it up Bob!
I also saw “Bucky” and his young charge behind our home on Fiddler’s Point Drive. Enjoying nature here in Marsh Creek never gets old!
Bob consistently captures images that reflect the amazing nature preserve in which we live but this shows the added value of observing over time – many thanks.
