I went to Arne nature reserve the other day, late in the afternoon. Most people had gone and the Sika deer were coming out of the woods. I managed to film some, and actually watched as one of them jumped sideways. Now, I understand how they can jump forwards... but sideways? Anyway, he looked a bit embarrassed and then bounded off with his mates....
I managed to film it here, if anyone would like to have a look.
It got me wondering if anyone else had ever seen deer doing this?
Thanks. Jane
