Yeah, I think that the Heron was fishing and the deer was coming to drink some water. When they spotted each other both of them remained in this position for several seconds, watching each other attentively, until the heron flew away.
The area where I took the photo is a nature reserve with lots of fresh water streams surrounded by dunes. There are a lot of deer running around. I also spotted this one jumping into and then out of the water:

Thank for painting the picture of what went down between these two. I’m glad things were settled peacefully!
Based on what you described, Heron could find another fishing spot.
Thank for sharing this other deer, looks like it’s having fun and it’s lovely to see the patterns on them too. 🦌
