- How to photograph Roe Deer. In Part 1, we look at ways to find Roe Deer, how to predict their movements as well as being aware of their incredibly developed senses. In Part 2 we'll be looking at how to approach the Deer to get close enough for photography.

Thank God. A photography video NOT about gear. Phew. I feel cleansed.
Lol!! Well, gear is certainly not what I'm all about. I'm no Tony Northrup.
@@PaulMiguelPhotography Yeah... I'm sick of Tony and Chelsea telling me that spending less than £2k on gear means I shouldn't take photos. I'm really excited for the rest of this series on tracking, identification and field-craft which feels much more important and integral to wildlife photography.
@@PaulMiguelPhotography I stopped watching them months ago, it’s cost me a fortune 🤣🤣
I guess Im pretty randomly asking but do anyone know a good place to stream newly released movies online ?
02:48 lol that bird running between the roedeers is soo randoom 🤣
Oh, and one more thing! If you ever find yourself wondering what's that weird loud noise coming from the woods/bushes, sort of a high-pitch barking, relax, it's not a wolf or some other predator. It's actually a roe deer :) They don't roar like a stag, they kind of bark, whenever they feel alarmed.
Yes. I have footage of a buck barking! In part 2. I've heard it a few times.
so helpfull thank you
Thank you for this, really useful
Great info Paul, just to add they don’t like sheep, quite rare to see them in the same field,
Interesting you say that Stephen. For the first time ever this year there were sheep in their usual fields. I was wondering how it would affect them. They seem to be as normal now for sure.
Love Roe deer need good fieldcraft to get close. I normally pick them off at range great advice and video 👍😍
Some wonderful information about the Roe Deer. They are very interesting animals.
Thank you. I do find them fascinating. Learning more about them has already helped me get closer.
2:52 haha the male pheasants are readying for a fight.
Beautiful coverage.
Many thanks.
Some great tips! Thanks for sharing :D
Thank you.
I see you have long boots, that’s great! It is a good idea for everyone to have long boots on to protect yourself from ticks while shooting deers. Thanks for sharing some interesting facts about roe deer! 👍😃
Good point I was about to go back and say such and avoid any really dark such as black ...
@@HelenaMikas I have a friend who suffered greatly from Lyme disease for many years... And I have observed many more dears than usual this Spring, the news also report that the number of ticks is going to be skyrocket this season. We would like to see our photographer friends are safe while enjoying photography right? Cheers! 😃
Thanks for sharing Joyce. It can happen. To be honest I usually wear normal walking boots, but in some areas ceratinly long boots would be sensible.
Beautiful animals! Thanks for sharing Paul!
Hi Paul yes roe deer skull👍another good video as usual! Can't wait for your tv show🤞👏keep videos coming.
Clicked like before it was halfway through!. Found this very informative, thanks!
Paul WOW so much information to start stalking deer and taking photographs yet again another great video from you to get us out in the field cannot wait for part two
Hi Paul, Another informative video. Great image at 3:46ish. It was good to meet you last Sunday at St. A's.
Thank you mate. Enjoyed chatting to you too Mal.
Anyone who can confirm the Roe Deer skull at 1:43 - I'm happy to hear from you!
Deffo in my view buddy... JP
If you have a still image of the skull, try using Google Lens to ID it. Ever try the app?
Looks like a roe doe to me - great video, thank you Paul
such a good Video, i just bought my D500 and i´m looking forward to photographing Roe Deer and those tips will definitly help. Thank you Paul
Thank you. Best of luck!
Hi Paul, tank you for very informative video! Looking forward to see the part 2 😊 It was great to meet you and chat last week in St Aidan’s 🌿 take care 🌿🦌
Hi Kat! Lovely to meet you too. Thanks for watching!
Great bit of video Paul, there are allot of roe deer in the part of Somerset where I live, I love to photograph them in the morning golden hour, they are so switched on, to anything as you say the often stick to a well known patch and instinctively know when something is different, great tips for anyone unfirmier with these beautiful animals, all the best Mike...
Yes, I agree - I think they get to know their patch so well and can easily spot something new. Thanks Mike.
Hi Paul. Enjoyed the vlog and look forward to seeing the rest of the series. Hopefully you'll do more mini series on these lines. Hope you're keeping well, buddy
Cheers buddy. Yeah, I'm ok. Did another visit yesterday.. another encounter with the older buck. No pics, but learnt more.
Haven't watched yet, but I know it's gonna be goood!
Very kind.! This one is more about the Roe Deer's habits and signs - Part 2 is more the actual Photography.
Great video buddy,got a little wood near me and it's a fantastic place to photograph deer. Beautiful animals.👍📷
Hi buddy nice video here's something that might help a roe deer hoof size is the first two joints of your little finger and quite thin also the droppings are cigar shaped with straight edges usually in small piles and when fresh they have a oily look but when old dark and Matt
Thank you. Brilliant information!
Also, roe are like top 1 tick carrier, so be careful when roaming around roe land. Lyme disease is no joke.
Roe Skull buddy.... Nice find! Great video too 😉👍🏼
Thank you!!!!! I was pretty damn sure (never found was before) but I was little worried about total embarrassment. Cheers mate.
I think you've done some vids on deer too?
@@PaulMiguelPhotography Along the way buddy, i love tracking deer and silently watching them they are beautiful beings ❤️
Hi Paul nice video and some good shots. Have you tried calling Roe during the rut July/August. You can bring them really close doing this, would make for some frame filling shots. A call named buttolo which is a reed call is great for this.
Hi Hugh. I have never tried it. Personally I wouldn't feel comfortable doing this really. I'll definitely be spending some time in July/August though. I once saw a buck rampaging through a wheat field in July - it was incredible!
I really enjoyed this Paul ..Where were you geographically North west in which case I'm jealous :)
Just aboutside Leeds.
Hi Paul, I encountered (completely by accident) a single Roe deer doe, exactly as you described, in a field, at the edge of a wood (Shirebrook wood on the Nottinghamshire/Derbyshire border) just a few weeks ago. It was a good distance from me so my photographs weren't brilliant. The only thing I had with me at the time was my bridge camera. I do often feel though that I'm making far too much noise to sneak up on anything! It's very difficult to be quiet on a mobility scooter!
You need stealth mode! I'm sure the encounter mad your day...
Hi Paul think I should watch this little series as I'm probably the only person on the planet who could spook a statue lol. Until next time take care and stay safe my friend.
Haha!
Did I see a couple of Ring-necked Pheasant running around the field there?🤣
Yes.
You're kidding Paul, right? Here where I live you almost can't NOT step on some buck or a doe - they are so prevalent :-) I hardly even shoot them anymore, got plenty of roe shots already. Is it a rare animal over in UK?
Sounds brilliant. They are not rare here, but can be difficult to get close to.
They actually swim across the canal
What time is best for photographing deer?
Daytime - evening or early morning. If you mean season then I would say April and July/August.
@@PaulMiguelPhotography thank you very much!!
What was the pheasant chasing at 2:45 from the right?
Wow. That was bizarre. Never noticed that. I have no idea!
Two cock pheasants heading for battle, one from the right, one from the left.
@@SkylarkFields The one from the right side was chasing something small and light coloured
@@Steve-rr8qf Oh ok, didn't see that! Will go back and look more closely! (I just saw the two pheasants heading towards each other at a run!) :)
Saw it this time and it fluttered up just before that section ended. Skylark? Too small to be a hen pheasant? Intriguing!
Paul can you please unlock the pasting of links in your comment section? There's one comment of mine pending. Thanks!
I don't know how to do that.
