Deer and birds spend time together in cold sunny weather

Magpies and crows surround a resting deer herd as they feed on ticks from the fur of the deer roaming on the Ashton Court Estate in Bristol, England. The weather is pretty cold this season, but it doesn't stop the deer and birds from having a good time in the sun.
