Muntjac Deer

Woke this morning, pulled the curtains back and spotted this little deer, who happily stayed in situ while I dressed, gave the kids breakfast and finished the packing, before creeping out to blip him.

The Reeves' Muntjac (Muntiacus reevesi) is a muntjac species found widely in southeastern China (Gansu to Yunnan) and in Taiwan. They have also been introduced in the Netherlands, south England, the Midlands,east Wales and more recently[when?]Ireland. It feeds on herbs, blossoms, succulent shoots, grasses and nuts, and was also reported to eat trees. It takes its name from John Reeves, who was appointed Assistant Inspector of Tea for the British East India Company in 1812.
