Shortly after spotting the little egret fishing in the River Dene at Charlecote Park, noticed something large swimming in the water. It was half, hidden by the foliage of the riverside trees, but finally it could be seen clearly enough as a deer.
The deer began to clamber up the bank, just yards upstream from the egret, which promptly took off and retreated a short distance further into the park. The deer was revealed as the leader of a group of four fallow deer. The group headed off, with much looking around, in much the same direction as the bird had done.
