UNDERSTANDING DEER
Each of our 6 UK deer species have biological features, ecological traits and behaviours unique to them. A deep understanding of these attributes can lead to unique, but safe, encounters with them, sometimes at very close quarters.
Whether you’re a keen deer photographer or working in deer management, an excellent knowledge of deer biology, ecology and behaviour is key to success in your field.
