Buttercup {Ranunculus acris} - Ifield Brook Meadows

With the weather beautiful and me finally free I decided to head to one of my favourite nature reserves. While there I decided to head to a lonely field that I had never visited before at this time of year. Much to my surprise, I found a huge carpet of Buttercups across the field several feet high, so of course decided to set up camp and get some shots. After a hour or so doing this I finally had my shot. Interestingly when I had finished I suddenly realized that I had spent the whole time sitting within a few feet of Male Roe Deer crouched down deep within the Buttercups.
