Based upon detailed observation in the New Forest, this delightful
book tells the story of Buckie, a fawn from a small herd of fallow
does which the author was first privileged to observe just before
sunset one magical June evening. Following this defining moment,
the author, accompanied by her dachshund George, spent every spare
moment watching deer - red, sika and roe but mostly the beautiful
fallow deer. She observed the deer in all weathers, how they
interacted with each other or with other wild creatures amongst the
New Forest's ancient stands of oak and beech. Buckie's contacts
with a variety of people such as those who befriend him, the local
keepers and poachers are all described in realistic detail. Every
November the author went to the New Forest to observe the rut, an
exciting time in the deer world, when the great belching roars
echoed out over twilight in autumnal woods, evoking a thrill of
pleasure. Ferny Wood is a closely observed, lovingly detailed
account of a deer's first three years of life and also an
illuminating portrait of a forest in all its moods.
