We hear a lot about deer in woodlands, but here in the treeless Fens I'm widely seeing about 30+ deer per square km. Mostly Roe deer, but lots of Chinese Water Deer, some Muntjac and rarely a Fallow. That's far more Roe than i ever see in woodland or more woody regions.

Fenland bird surveys in a nutshell: wind, flat fields to the horizon, big skies, and trumpeting Whooper Swans. Sound up for wind & trumpets. #ukbirding
