Whilst out on my daily rabbit control round this morning, I saw a Roe Deer very briefly. This doe was heavily pregnant and on her own, indicating that she will soon be giving birth to probably twins – very common in Roe Deer.

Rapid Pest Control manage the deer population on this land and making sure that a healthy population is maintained, free of disease and with enough food to sustain a health population is vital to her and her fawns. As you can see, she is in top condition, part way through the moult awaiting her summer coat.

When I see sights like this, it really makes the job and effort so worth while. I will be following her with interest and look forward to seeing the new fawns in the very near future.
