During this month we have spotted some regular visitors to the site - lovely Roe Deer!
This first video appears to be a female as it has no antlers:
Below is one we captured at night and is a male (buck) - identifiable by the two visible antlers.
Below is a great shot of a buck 'fraying' a tree - this is when they rub their antlers against a tree to mark their territory. When deer rub their antlers on trees, they strip away the tree’s cambium. That’s the layer between the inner bark and the outer wood that helps nutrients move throughout the tree. Unfortunately, when the cambium layer is stripped off all sides of the tree, the damage is done and there is a high possibility that tree won't survive very long.
