I have, since it came out, an old but perfectly working iPhone 4 and this
is the very first picture ever I have committed with it (no comment please!)
I was driving back from the bank as the car in front of mine slowed down
dramatically. The lady saw this fawn on the road and didn't know what to
do.
I looked around and saw nothing in the fields. I walked in the woods and
saw the silhouette of the mother. The lady wanted to it pickup but I asked
her for anything: towel or else… she had a blanket.
Covering the little guy — no more than a kilo — I took it 20 m in the woods
making sure I had no direct contact with it. I got back to the road to move
the car and went where I left it but it was gone. GOOD LUCK LITTLE ONE!

Very well done, there are times when human intervention with nature's small and helpless creatures is a benefit to all. You hapened to be in the right place at the right time.

There are times when our fellow creatures can use a little help, in particular our domestic pets, (those abused, abandon, or in need in some other way). In the case of nature, I usually don't intrude or advise it to others, but in this case, yes, I feel you did the right thing as I would have done the same.

I would have done the same.
Deers have a sense for abandoning their kids when it acquired
an unexpected smell and special other situations.
I, on the contrary, intrude every time I can but I took the time to
learn what, where, when, and how to… and sometimes it is so
hard to see distress and not being able to do anything.

I agree, you seem to have taken all the right measures to insure the fawn's survival and reunity with it's mother. I would have driven out of sight then crept back on foot to watch and see the outcome.
