Camera Trap Results

We have been using the camera trap for a couple of years now, and have caught a range of targets, including foxes, birds and (mostly) wallabies (and occasionally some unsuspecting visitors).

I set the camera on a tree near the sandy bend in the track a couple of weeks ago because I kept seeing deer, pig and fox signs there.  Just retrieved it today and at least the deer were cooperative.

The trap uses an infra-red flash when it is triggered at night.  Here are two deer (well, one and a half) moving down the track.
Apart from this one night time shot, they seem to be on the track in the early morning and early evening.
Is the one below the same as the one above?  Hard to tell because of the different angle and the different lighting, but I think it's probably the same one.
In the shot below (taken this morning) there's another deer off to the left of the track, just above the left ear of the one on the track.  That one looks to me to be larger than any of the ones photogaphed on the track, so maybe at least three different animals.

I'll reset the trap in the morning in much the same place and see what comes along.
