Deer in Sheffield?

[Baron99]

I remember reading in The Star a few years ago a report that a deer was spotted on Queens Road, early one morning.

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.

On the way to work one morning through beeley woods my husband saw what he thought were a couple of dogs at the entrance ,they turned out to be muntjac deer,he was gobsmacked to say the least.

Quite common in the beautiful districts north of Sheffield , Stocksbridge and surrounding areas.

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 . . .

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.

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.

There's a herd of deer in greno, wheata,wharncliffe woods.I have seen them often over the years.One morning there was a huge stag under the pylon next to jawbone hill,just over the wall 20 yards from me,no camera and pre mobile phones,would have loved to have had a photo.
