I don't think this is one of our usual trio (1 buck & 2 does) of Roe deer that visit the orchard.
It was there on its own this morning, and it wasn't until I examined the images I had taken that I realised that it has a large area of bare skin at the base of the neck. I can only assume that this is from crashing through a fence at speed, but I am surprised that there is so little evidence of bleeding.
Could there be another cause?
