Roe or Red? Very rarely seen roe around, but the red deer herd around there is long established, possibly escaped from Chatsworth. The downside is that the increase in numbers in recent years is infesting the area with ticks.

Their heard must have been huge then because I've seen a group on their estate too recently
Yeah We picked up lots of ticks on Big Moor yesterday but maybe that’s from the cows as well as the deer??
Adder on Big Moor. Pretty sure I’ve only ever seen an Adder once before. It was pretty chunky maybe 4cm in diameter.
as well as the usual bloody gulls.
I saw what I think was a large muntjac deer whilst out for a run in the woods up near my house (near beauchief golf course in sheffield) a couple of nights ago. I wasnt sure what it was at first as i only caught a glimpse but after a suggestion from a strava friend from my description I'm pretty sure it was a muntjac. Pretty cool!
