@DefraGovUK Native deer on the Isle of Wight, both red and roe, despite being extremely rare here, are continuously under threat from ill-conceived public sector attempts to slaughter every last one of them to turn the whole county into an experimental deer free zone! Shame on them!

🦌 Deb's Tips: Fieldcraft Makes the Difference ✔ Keeping the wind in your favour ✔ Don't rush, move slowly and quietly ✔ Being patient ✔ Trying different times or locations to avoid disturbance The best images often come to those who wait #WildlifePhotography #FieldcraftTips

Persecution of Isle of Wight's deer continues! Despite deer being present here since the late 20th century, benefitting the island's woodland biodiversity, @iow_council & @NaturalEngland want to wipe all of our wild deer out to create an experimental deer free zone!

Don't eat all the bluebells 💙🦌 Willow filling up this morning 🦌 #roe #deer #roedeer #RoeDeerDiary #wildlife #trailcameras #NatureLover #conservation #BBCSpringwatch

Deer Trivia: Sika in England The first sika deer arrived in Britain in 1860. Free-living populations began to appear around 1896 after a release on Brownsea Island, Dorset, with some swimming to the mainland and establishing on the Purbeck Peninsula. #DeerTrivia
