Roe Deer

There is a small woody hillock across the road from the Lundin Links Hotel, which belongs to the Water Board. Just at dusk tonight I saw two small deer grazing on the hillock, their white rumps very prominent in the gloom. They were only around 25 yards away from the heavy evening traffic in the main road through the village. They were likely to be have been roe deer, as that is the most common deer in Fife. Their small size and prominent white rump is also indicative of roe deer. The roe deer is primarily active in the twilight.
