Benthejockey Posted August 21, 2021 Report Share Posted August 21, 2021 I checked a camera today after a 3 day soak next to a recently filled feeder in the hope it's drawn some fallow bucks. A fallow doe and her fawn have found it which is good news it should draw some others soon. But I also got the attached photo. It looks like either a fox or a roe that's had some sort of injury over it's back that's healed. But I have no idea what the thing in the back ground is. We haven't got a resident population of boar and I think a pig would have knocked over the feeder anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walker570 Posted August 21, 2021 Report Share Posted August 21, 2021 Looks like somebodies spaniel with a blue collar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benthejockey Posted August 21, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2021 It's stumped me a bit! I hope it's not a dog! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benthejockey Posted August 21, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2021 I've looked at the other 2 photos in the sequence and unfo they go out of shot. The thing in the foreground isn't a dog, pretty sure it's a deer that's had an injury. Still haven't got a clue about the other thing in the background.

ShootingEgg Posted August 22, 2021 Report Share Posted August 22, 2021 Looks a bit to much fur/ hair for a dear. And I'm guessing it's the rear end... How high up is the camera ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How high up is the camera ? I thought fox but where it is in the photo would appear to be level with the top of the feeder which is the standard blue barrel on tripod leg sort if height.

Jaymo Posted August 22, 2021 Report Share Posted August 22, 2021 Judging by the ‘hair-skin-hair’, I would say it’s ‘Ditchy’ bending over….. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnphilip Posted August 22, 2021 Report Share Posted August 22, 2021 I have lightened it a bit for you hope you don't mind it looks a bit gruesome . The far animal is not a badger is it . Is there cattle in the field? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonker Posted August 22, 2021 Report Share Posted August 22, 2021 Reckon it could be a wallaby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benthejockey Posted August 22, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2021 Badger crossed my mind but it would be a fairly big ****** and it was 1048 so late for a healthy one to be about. Wallaby might be a stretch although a lad locally has rheas and they escape occasionally so I will ask incase he's got himself a new pet. I'm going to go and have a look if there's any fallow bucks about and see if whatever it is has been again and I've got more photos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RockySpears Posted August 23, 2021 Report Share Posted August 23, 2021 Can we not have the actual pictures rather than a screenshot of a phone? I can't even see the spaniel, Cheers, RS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't even see the spaniel, Cheers, RS That is the picture. I had to screenshot the picture on my phone to make it small enough to upload onto here. It's definitely not a spaniel, the head end of whatever it is is on the left hand side of the picture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
