stag alert
what noise from my does

The protected deer of Miyajima Island in the Sea of Japan near Hiroshima are very demanding for food. Deer aside this is one of the most peaceful and beautiful places in Japan. These photos are over a period of time covering three different visits to Japan
This is my contribution to Ronovan’s Haiku challenge this week. Visit at https://ronovanwrites.wordpress.com/2015/09/21/ronovanwrites-weekly-haiku-poetry-prompt-challenge-63-stag-noise/ More a challenge given the deer of Australia are introduced species and those that exist as feral animals in national parks and wilderness areas are usually very suspicious of humans for very good reasons

They would be a good reason to go to town!

Thanks Sue. The deer here on Miyajima and in Nara are sacred and behave like they know it. Special deer cakes are sold and the deer expect all tourists are there to feed them.

I must add they can get quite aggressive and nip with attitude if no biscuit is offered.

I recall a her I met in France with a similar attitude… they pretty much backed my husband into the lake 🙂

Thanks Vashti. These were the only deer photosI have. If you visit Japan don’t be conned into feeding them.
