I'd love to be able have a little whinge about too many animals around me lol

its when they run into schools playground across bypasses railway lines your heart in your mouth even had then in the train station lol

What railway station would that be ????

When i used to travel a lot by train, i saw foxes almost every morning at Johnston station. Every year there was a litter or two of cubs, just as you pulled into it coming from the Kilwinning side.

there is a sharp increase of roe around me also. vast tracts of forestry and wildlife friendly parks. have helped them out no end. they are hit hard with plenty of stalkers here but they arnt making much of a dent in the numbers. the huge windfarms are helping also although some of these are hitting them hard trying to keep a balance .i try to stick to rabbits these days. if i fancy some venny burgers i'll buy some off the stalking lads.

I reckon you've hit the nail on the head there. In my opinion the gradual increase in habitat since the 70's and earlier is one of the main reasons for the increase in deer numbers. At the very least they need regular patches of some kind of woodland in amongst the farmland before they can colonise an area. (Unless you're looking at hill and heathland of course.

You can,t thrash about with dogs now without coming across Roe,even city centres were an industrial complex is demolished soon gets its resident Roe,areas that never held deer are now holding,they are becoming a real nuisance,a lot of the areas are out of bounds to a gun,what a pity?.
