A pair of these seen at Itchen Country Park, Hampsire yesterday. About 4' to the shoulder. 
Please confirm. Thanks

It's a Roe Deer Peter 
Muntjacs are much smaller, like a large dog. |

Yes, Roe buck. The pattern on the muzzle is fairly distinctive.

Thanks Nick and Hedge.
I looked up Roe Deer but discounted irt as the antlers are not branched. The face is very distinctive I agree.
I learn something else new

Thank you both. The surprising thing was that there were two travelling together and they were without any fear at all. They circled round several times and at one stage ran towards us, stopping only 10-15' away. They seemed to be curious about us and were totally relaxed.
