Fougasse Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 On 06/06/2015 at 11:15, Blackbeard said: It is becoming a problem in many towns and cities. "The "kings of the forest" have been spotted on roundabouts, in cemeteries and on golf courses as the population explodes across the UK. The animals not only damage trees and spread disease but are responsible for causing more than 74,000 road accidents every year, including up to 20 fatalities. The problem is so bad that a major conference is being held this weekend in Warwickshire, Deer Management 2010, to work out the best way to deal with "urban deer"." http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/earth/wildlife/7429164/Urban-deer-a-growing-problem-for-UK.html Someone ought to host a conference on what to do about urban humans that cause a hell of a lot more road accidents and fatalities.

Eater Sundae Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 (edited) Yesterday on one of the Sheffield Facebook groups that I subscribe to, someone posted a very short video taken from a moving car of what they said was a young deer, at the side of Endcliffe Park. It was running along the pavement on what looked like Rustlings Rd. Unfortunately I was in a bit of a rush to do something else at the time, but I forgot to mark the post, so when I went back a couple of hours later to look at it properly, I couldn’t find it. Has anyone else seen it? Edited May 9, 2019 by Eater Sundae Typo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I1L2T3 Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 (edited) Saw a Roe Deer in Graves Park yesterday afternoon, bounding across the fields in front of the cricket pavilion by Cobnar. They can properly shift. It was easily doing 30mph Edited June 9, 2019 by I1L2T3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DerbyTup Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 These little fellas are abundant where I stay during the week, (in the Chiltern Hills). I've never seen any in this area though. They are called "Muntjac" deer. They are tiny and very cute looking little things. The evensong down there is a mix of these little creatures "barking" and the distinctive whistle of the red Kite's overhead. It's quite something! Have a look/listen to the short video below to see what I mean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charliewag Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 I've seen Muntjac deer near the canal basins and I'm told they're present in Beeley wood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmm... ... you saw a small herd of deer on their way home from work? I suppose they were after a fast buck... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickey finn Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 I'm surprised we don't have a wildlife section, it would be good to know what others were seeing in and around Sheffield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
