Water Margins - A Tale of the Marshes

A Male Chinese Water Deer (Hydropotes inermis) looks up from feeding on new shoots of reed on the bank of the River Yare at Strumpshaw, Norfolk, England. The deer stands solid at the precarious margins of its territory. The habitat reminds me of a Mangrove with trees rising from the water and the muddy bank which has beed undermined by passing Pleasure Cruisers.
