Oh DEER! Doe is spotted with her fawn in a field of wheat

Published: 00:53, 30 July 2026 | Updated: 00:55, 30 July 2026 A photographer captured the stunning moment a doe roe deer stopped to peer over a crop of wheat. The wild animal, which was travelling with her fawn, was spotted in the village of Barsbuttel close to Hamburg in northern Germany. Matthias Determann, 48, said he had been 'stalking' through a field on a trail when the doe's distinctive ears caught his eye. The deer was with her fawn – who was said to be too small to be visible in the field. Mr Determann said: 'Most of the time, I stalk through fields, forests, and meadows, sticking exclusively to the trails.  'When I spot an animal, I try to get within about 55 yards, and then I usually sit down on the ground and wait for the animal to come even closer on its own.  'This works very well in many cases, and that's usually how I take my photos.  'And of course, I wear camouflage clothing the whole time, stay calm, and don't move.

However, Mr Determann explained it is currently mating season for roe deer. He added: 'That's why you often see some of them standing in the fields, looking for a mate.  'Mating season is in July and August. When they recognise me, they will run away. Most of the time not very fast, but these are wild animals and they are afraid to see humans.'
