Baron99 Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 I remember reading in The Star a few years ago a report that a deer was spotted on Queens Road, early one morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lottiecass Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 Roe deer are more common in Sheffield than you think. If you're out and about late evening or early morning on the edges of woodland you may spot one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skink Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 Seen a few on my twilight bike commutes in SW Sheffield - followed a badger for a good few hundred yards up Twnetywell lane recently too If you are quiet you will be amazed what you see . . .

little miffy Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 I've seen a couple of deer in Hillsborough park and even one up langsett road near morrisons. Made a nice change from cats and foxes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hauxwell Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 (edited) I was told that there are deers in Grenoside Woods. Didn’t really believe it, but perhaps the person who told me could be right. Edited June 8, 2018 by hauxwell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Temuchin Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 I was told that there are deers in Grenoside Woods. Didn’t really believe it, but perhaps the person who told me could be right. Speaking from personal experience, I can say there definitely are (were?) deer in the Greno Woods area. I've only seen the one, though, as it bolted across my path. That was a couple of years back; I do a lot of walking in that area and it's the only time I've seen one. Perhaps spotting them is time-of-day dependent, as I tend to do walks late morning?

That is what the person said, who told me about deer in Greno Woods, that he has seen a deer and it bolted across his path. Having once lived near the woods for many years, I have never seen one, so he was right. My walks use to be in the afternoon and there was always plenty of other walkers in the woods. So it could be dependent on the time of day when these elusive animals are in the woods. Thanks for confirming it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
