A Deer in my Backyard

An Indian Muntjac
Can't imagine how it got here coz there are no forests nearby.
Pentax K-70 & Sigma 150-500/5-6.3

Probably heard that there was a Pentax photographer in the vicinity, and came to check out that endangered species..   ;D

Nice captures ! and very apt comment by Bharat  :) I,too, belong to that endangered species  :)

Ah, lovely! Made excellent use of all the luck. I've probably seen this shy one a couple of times, let alone photograph it.

I should turn up with an Olympus telephoto setup :D
BTW - which location was this

They are in our territory we in their territory because of urbanisation.

Let's hope the Big Cats don't hear the same, Bharat.

Thanks. No harm in being part of it because while it may lack the bells & whistles, IMO, Pentax holds its ground, IQwise.

He's still around. I am incredibly lucky to have him here since I have never seen or heard from anyone who has sighted one anytime around here.
I might join you with a Oly setup... trying to get my hands on a E-M1 III or even the E-M1X.
We are in a place called Puthupally, about 7 Km from Kottayam in Kerala.

What a great photo-opportunity! Nice pics.

Thanks!

Thanks. Indeed, we have taken over their habitat. We have been in contact with the forest dept in the hope that they could relocate him so that he could be among friends in his habitat even though he looks health. I hope he comes to no harm around here.
We have a number of venomous snakes around here including Russel's Vipers & cobras and also constrictors like pythons which are killed indiscriminately by people.
