| Re: Deer identifcation? Hi Mike,
The video is a bit too blurred for my old eyes to say catagorically what they are, but they most certainly aren't roe deer (shape of antlers is the obvious clue here) or red deer (not near stocky enough).
That leaves either Sika or Fallow as the remaining possibilities, the defining identifier of fallow deer being the distinct flattening of the antlers. That's not obvious in the first antlered animal to pass (could be a young one of course), but there might just be a suggestion of that in the following one with the single antler.
I would expect those more southerly Wabbers who are more familiar with these species than I am to be able to say for sure.
BTW, what trail camera have you used for this video?
