Deer in Sheffield?

I saw a photograph on a popular Sheffield related, social media group not so long back, of some sort of deer that had made it's way down through the Loxley Valley to Malin Bridge.

My daughter and husband are regularly visited by deer and bunny rabbits at home in Hollow Meadows where they demolish their garden plants every year!.They have an alsation dog which instead of chasing them off runs along with the deer in the woods at the side of their house!,so she is not much help with the upkeep of the garden!.

I won't believe all this until I see a picture of it.

Hollow Meadows don't count, its practically the outback there.

But red deer and roe deer are often sighted in Sheffield too.

Disturbed a deer this very morning when out walking the dog in Dronfield....

So I know there are lots of deer on the edge of the Peak District, but last week I was cycling to work on on the Trans Pennine Trail, rode onto the section behind Park Academy on Lower Manor and a fully grown Roe deer was stood on the path right in front of me! Has anyone else spotted any in this area of Sheffield?

There was the one who got stuck in railings in Malin Bridge last week:

There is a roe deer that lives on the railway embankment at the side of Twentywell Lane. It is a beautiful animal

We’ve had a fully grown stag in our south west Sheffield rear garden.

I remember reading in The Star a few years ago a report that a deer was spotted on Queens Road, early one morning.

Roe deer are more common in Sheffield than you think. If you're out and about late evening or early morning on the edges of woodland you may spot one.
