Feeding the deer at the eco-reserve, Ojen, Spain
I had the priviledge of visiting a very special place in Andalucia, the Eco Reserva. It was a previous hunting ground now converted to a refuge for animals. Some very committed and passionate people worked hard to make this happen, and I’m so grateful there are people like that in the world!
Paco, a young deer, is very friendly to visitors as he’s been on the reserve since he was a baby. We set out to find him.
Not long after, he came to us and the children could feed him. What a magical experience!
There are many other animals here at the refuge that deserve mention (and photos!) but I will save them for another post! Stay tuned for more to come!
