That's a good photo opportunity you have taken advantage of there. I've only ever seen photo's of the little buggers, one of these days I will maybe get around to doing something about that. Thanks for that.

It was take on the Suffolk Coast. The 1st buck was seen in 2003 and the 1st doe in 2004 and now we have 10 animals.

Not a dam clue where they came from though...

But according to the BDS there are no CWD in Suffolk :eek:

unfortunately if no one reports them to such organisations then they will never know about them but then buy doing this you will find an influx of stalkers from out of the area , venturing in ,looking for stalking and offering x amount of pounds for it, this is the sad side of stalking in my eyes, but the future by the looks of things :cry:
but there are several areas of the broads that hold water deer , plus they are quite prolific breeders in the right conditions, often having upto for offspring at a time
don't be so keen to expose thier actual area but keep taking the pics as they are so photogenic and beautiful to look at

I submitted the results in the last deer census, if these animals get too prolific at breeding, then I will end up controlling them.

But for now, it just me trying to take photo's and them skulking away.

Yay.... counted 12 little critters whilst out lastnight.

Is thier breeding cycle like that of muntjac? (young can breed within the first year of life?)

I dont know much about them.


Nice pictures,

Many thanks for posting these pictures. I am hoping to go for my first CWD stalk in October so these have definitely whetted the appetite! Thanks also for posting the link to the BDS site - it will help me on my research before I go.

where are you going on the CWD if you don't mind me asking?
i presume you are on bucks?

Yes, after bucks.

I know it sounds bizarre, but I don't know the details yet. It's all been arranged by a friend of mine. I'll meet him in Scotland in a week or so on our annual stalking & fishing trip. As soon as I know whereabouts we're going I'll send you a pm.

BTW - thanks for the Wiki link, very good. Let's hope that at some point the CWD follow the muntjac down here to Berks/Bucks/Oxon!
