Unusual (to me anyway ) footprints in my garden this morning, in the snow.

Approx 2" long, in a V shape, one either side, possibly with a little mark where the two meet. Sorry, just discovered camera not working otherwise I'd have posted a piccie.

I'm assuming it's some kind of deer? It came over from next door (6' fence) and must have gone over to garden on other side. We do live on edge of country but I haven't seen deer near houses before.

What really puzzles me is that it was a single line of tracks?

I may have to stay up tonight to look out

Thanks in anticipation.

Sounds like a roe deer passing through. The back foot often steps into the track of the front to minimize enegry in deep snow, this can sometimes appear as a straight line.
