We were very surprised to see this fellow turn up on the trail cam one night.  He was stood looking over the fence in to the garden.  I showed the picture to Christian, the local vet, who is a keen naturalist, who told me he “knew this deer”.  I said,”yes, it’s a red deer”.  He said “no, I actually know ‘this’ deer.  He is called Charlie by some of the locals”.

 

Christian then sent me some pictures taken by other naturalists in the area.  I need to get the DSLR camera trap out to get a good look at this guy.  We also have plans to install a deer hide in the lower field by the river, so hopefully we can catch him there with his harem.

Spread the love
