red deer/ norfolk cambridgeshire

[banjo14 49]

hello there i was out walking my dog at about 11 oclock last night when i saw deer eyes shine up in the beam of the lamp. first of all i thought they were roe( as is normal for round here) as i walked closer i realised it wasn't a roe or even fallow. i got within about 25 to 30 yards from them, they were two red deer stags one of wich had quite a large set of antlers and the other s were about half the size. i have never seen red around here before and was wondering if anyone else had seen them in the norfolk cambridgshire area.

thanks very much for reading this adam

you would think that the amount im out and about i would have seen them before. look at me getting excited to have seen a red but everyone else has been seeing them for years

def some around Narborough / Maraham (think thats the spelling) area. Was watching a stonking munty buck at the end of my aunts garden last year and suddenly an almighty crash and two red hinds thundered past. It was first time I has seem them in the wild.

Was working at the British sugar factory last week, on the induction they said they had surveyed the grounds and there was a 200 strong herd anyone know what kind?

I live on the edge of the cambridgeshire fens and there's been red around my way for years but not in great numbers mostly drawn in by the local deer farm (not the one at March), plenty were l stalk in suffolk.
