The month of May is when you may notice young deer left alone in hiding spots, this is natural and their mother will not be far away.

Do not approach or touch the fawn!

If you have any questions, contact the BASC deer team on 01244573019 buff.ly/2KIfXet

Over the next few months our female deer will begin to give birth to their young. Please keep your distance as they can become very protective of their babies.
