WinchesterDave Posted September 27, 2015 Report Share Posted September 27, 2015 (edited) Was on my way home from Southport about half an hour ago and heading down the back roads through Halsall on way up to Aughton and as I was coming down I saw a two pair of eyes in front of me about 400 meters in a field on the right. I do this road almost every day and regularly at night and see foxes hares rabbits etc, standard stuff really so I didn't think anything of it. However, when I drove past it I looked in to the field, and it was obviously pitch black and couldn't see a thing. But something twigged and I said to my girlfriend, I swear ive just seen something big in that field, must have been about 60-70 meters in. I kept driving initially as I just thought it was clumps of whatever, but something in my head said turn around and go check it out. so turned around and travelled back. As I was driving slowly parallel next two it we were both looking out and just saw two dark, big silouetted objects running parallel to the car...to be quite honest I was a bit freaked out because I had no idea what they were. So I pulled slightly up the bank to get my lights on and there you have it two I think young Roe deer grazing in the middle of the field!! we couldn't belive it. they were initial a bit timid of us but then happily just got on with feeding! I thought straight away post on PW see what everyone thinks lol. was a nice but defiantly unexpected sight I had no idea after 20 years of living here we had deer in the area. regards, Dave Edited September 27, 2015 by WinchesterDave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sethb Posted September 28, 2015 Report Share Posted September 28, 2015 Eccelston and the area of rufford have a good number of fallow deer that were released a few years back,Eccelston has a small population of muntjac and all sorounding parts hold roe deer,this has all come about over the last ten years,there's more deer about than you think.
