Mr.C Posted March 14, 2019 Report Share Posted March 14, 2019 (edited) Just seen one from the train, cream coloured rather than white but all over, just plain no other markings. Any ideas? Guessing about a meter at the shoulder, not small by any means? Woodland north Sussex. Edited March 14, 2019 by Mr.C Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oowee Posted March 14, 2019 Report Share Posted March 14, 2019 Nice pic MM. Interesting to see the countryside unlike anything here on the Mendips. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walker570 Posted March 14, 2019 Report Share Posted March 14, 2019 (edited) That is a nice wild fallow. No split palms. Certainly worth leaving for a year or two. Ben mentioned mine but this was shot in Texas, USA Edited March 14, 2019 by Walker570 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simonm Posted March 14, 2019 Report Share Posted March 14, 2019 Would any of the pictures be a White Hart? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oowee Posted March 14, 2019 Report Share Posted March 14, 2019 I was just reading that a White Hart was originally referred to a Red Stag but that the term is now more widely used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dekers Posted March 14, 2019 Report Share Posted March 14, 2019 I've never seen a white one but from what I generally understand there are a few white Fallow about, so most likely to be one of them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A herd of about 30 in all came to within 30 feet as I stood still until they winded me and cleared off. A wonderful memory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moose man Posted March 14, 2019 Report Share Posted March 14, 2019 On one of my permissions you can see groups of fallow sixty or seventy strong is quite a common sight , among them will be eight or ten white ones , it’s just a colour, same as the black ( melanistic ) is just a colour variation .
