[@AShotOfWildlife]

If you have just enjoyed watching this video then be sure to check out my latest video, taking a look at the European Water Vole: kzbin.info/www/bejne/imG8Y5R-pKp6mK8

[@paulinephillips8305]

Thank you, I find it really tricky identifying deer, especially since I see them so rarely. Your video really helped, I will keep it handy!

[@alloutofbubblegum2380]

Super informative, thanks! Recently got a load of photos at a deer park but wasn't really sure on the difference between fallow and reds until now.

[@CalSprigley]

Great video. Helped me identify a group of 4 sika deer I saw walking through the forest yesterday. Amazing animals.

[@AShotOfWildlife]

Brilliant! I am glad you found the video helpful!

[@UKSTAGROSCO]

Great film mate 👍

[@Bertil_Lundin]

Thanks for sharing Liam! Interesting with so many species of deer that live in the UK. Greetings, stay safe and have a nice day! // Bertil.

Apparently the moose or elk was native to the UK until around the 17th century. It would be nice to see them reintroduced.

[@jancyvargheese5351]

The moose went extinct from England and Scotland around 1400 to 2000 years ago. The moose and reindeer hung on to Scotland a lot longer

[@lewischristie2285]

No it would not, Moose are highly territorial and attack humans and other animals, while weighing close to a ton 😂

[@valentinez5329]

this is so helpful for my upcoming deer ID test tysmmm

[@AShotOfWildlife]

Great stuff, good luck!

[@valentinez5329]

Thank you! with your help I got them all right and passed. @@AShotOfWildlife

[@NaturallyCuriousUK]

I thought I recognised some of Fred's footage in there! You've still got it mate. Look out David Attenborough! Liam is on the rise! Like the drawing near the end - very Springwatch 😆 All the best mate, and when the lockdown is lifted we must try and get a rematch on! 👍😎👍

[@AShotOfWildlife]

Thanks Graham. Yes, when it’s all over I will drive to meet you closer to home (I have a functional car again now).

[@AShotOfWildlife]

On a side note, I’ll say the same to you as I have to Fred, if there’s anything that I have filmed that you need a bit of footage of, I’ll be happy to share it with you :)

[@NaturallyCuriousUK]

@@AShotOfWildlife That's very gracious of you. Same goes if you'd like any of my footage. 👍

[@janetturner7489]

Sika deer are in the Highlands of Scotland too, I have seen them in the Lochaber region.

[@nl2935]

the water deers looks really cute

[@rhysarthur3378]

Holy moly the antlers on the last red deer wow

[@deerohdeer8000]

Nice Liam!! Even I learnt something new from this !!! Well presented!!! 👍🦌👍🦌👍🦌👍🦌👍🦌👍🦌👍🦌👍

[@AShotOfWildlife]

Thanks Craig. I have a functional car again now, so once we are allowed to I will finally make that trip down your way! I hope you are well.

[@AShotOfWildlife]

Also, what was it that you learnt? The delayed implantation? Flexible canines in Chinese water deer?

[@AmyCHollingworth]

Well I've had my fair share of deer, especially a certain no-eye, or shall I say bad-eye deer, but I had forgoten about the sika deer! nice video :)

[@AShotOfWildlife]

Hahaha! I’ve had a fair share of bad-eye-deers as well!

[@TomMcClean]

Good one again. Very informative. Keep 'er lit!

[@JacqJansen]

Very interesting video. Thanks for sharing. Have a nice evening

[@angusstewart6237]

What about the Reindeer on the Cairngorms

[@jancyvargheese5351]

I don’t think they are truly wild like the North American carribou. Iam pretty sure all or most of the European reindeers are domesticated for at least 2000 years.

[@CamillaI]

Very interesting to have them all compared in the same video thank you

[@mikesaunders4775]

A good quick guide to our Deer. I thought there were some Reindeer in the Cairngorms though.

[@AShotOfWildlife]

There are and I overlooked them when I made the video. They are completely managed and owned by someone, so I could argue they weren’t one of the species that live in the wild here ;)

[@mikesaunders4775]

@@AShotOfWildlife You did the right thing.

[@janetturner7489]

This is correct, there were 12 presented to Scotland by the Norwegian royal family as a thank you present after they took refuge north of Inverness in Carbisdale castle during WW2.

[@ronharris7335]

Good program.

[@IanPhillipsWildlife]

Great video mate!

[@patrickculligan]

I literally have 3 of these species next to my house in warickshire muntjac, roe deer and fallow deer my dad has seen chinese water deer in long mileston. Do water deer live in warickshire please let me know

[@vegan4theanimals2]

Great video. thank you!

[@alexsaquatics7620]

great video mate

[@meowmeow-yi5hs]

Hey! I just recently started watching your videos and love them a lot! Could you please answer a question for me? Its not about dears but baby pigeons actually.. I just wanted to make sure you could see this. Yesterdau, my cat brought in a baby pigeon.. unlikely not majorly hurt. However this means I have no clue where ita nest is.. so I'm attempting to nurse it back to health. The problem is... He won't eat! I tried the bottle technique from your video and the syringe, but he just hates it and it takes so long.. How can I feed him? I also keep hearing about not giving them water but that seems wrong... Another question, how can I try to ease how scared he is? It's not a surprise hes scared, but I really want to help him. Thank you and once again great video! Really informative.

[@venturatheace1]

So many introduced species, wow

[@AShotOfWildlife]

That’s the theme for a lot of UK wildlife. The landscape here is pretty much man made and so is a lot of the biodiversity.

[@brodieadu-yeboah4811]

Nice video thanks Liam

[@brodieadu-yeboah4811]

What's is your favourite deer 🦌🦌🦌🦌🦌🦌🦌🦌🦌🦌🦌🦌🦌🦌🦌🦌Mine is fallow deer and red deer

[@SavannahsCreations08]

They are so cute

[@elyzsabethahne2116]

No longer are the red deer the largest mammals in the United Kingdom. Relatively recently, wisents (woodland bison) have been brought to the UK from the forests of Poland, and they are now living in the UK.

[@RAMB3E]

we have them in our garden all the time, i really want to feed them but they always run back into the field

[@Tom-zq7lu]

FANTASTIC AND BEAUTIFUL THANKS FOR THE CHANNEL IS FANTASTIC OK 😊👍👏🤗🆗💯

[@Gw0wvl]

Why is the music so loud ? .... It's so loud it's hard to hear you ...... Is this a narration video or a music video ?

[@AShotOfWildlife]

It's quieter in my more recent stuff

[@lordrhino7026]

Aren’t there semi-wild reindeer in Scotland?

[@AShotOfWildlife]

I think they are slightly further south than Scotland (but could be wrong). They are a managed and fed herd that are moved into pens for the winter. I would like to visit them some time but I wouldn’t count them as a deer that lives wild in the UK really.

[@janetturner7489]

They're in the Cairngorms, please see my comment posted about them.

[@eaglevp]

Great information

[@eliz-abeth]

Excellent, thank you

[@Jack-nx2qr]

I’m in Australia my dads friend shot a 18 pointer they found a gut shot 20 pointer my uncle shot a 12 pointer so as my uncle and me

[@bigmeeps1239]

I saw a muntjack and a Canadian goose squaring off to eachother

[@GregsWildlife]

Very interesting video. I feel kinda bad as I was eating venison as I was watching this!

[@NaturallyCuriousUK]

😲😲😲😲😮😮😮😆

[@AShotOfWildlife]

“Oh deer”... I don’t have much more to say Greg. Cheers :D

[@gazwit1603]

All good food😊

[@WildlifeBox]

Thanks for this helpful video. Very useful information! I managed to capture some Munkjac deer on a trail camera recently - feel free to check out the video on my channel. Keep up the great work.

[@AShotOfWildlife]

Thank you. I have visited your channel (was already a subscriber). Are you Norfolk based? I see you did the Wild-Eye course, does that mean you know Fred?

[@WildlifeBox]

@@AShotOfWildlife Thanks, great to hear you had subscribed to my channel. No, I don't actually know Fred. I'm actually based in the South-West but went to one of Wildeye's weekend courses under the supervision of Piers Warren, a few years back. It was a really great introduction to Wildlife Filmmaking.

[@dott8348]

I think i saw one in Wolverhampton by my school, in the city too, I thought it was a rabbit until finding out theres deers in the uk

[@Nate_Luke]

What about reindeer?

[@AShotOfWildlife]

Hi Nathan. You are not the first person to point this out but I dont personally consider them a wild deer species. They have been "reintroduced" but both those in the Cotswolds and the cairngorms spend either all of or at least a large proportion in an enclosure and are completely managed by people. Including daily feeds etc. in my mind, as they all have owners, they dont count as wild. If I was to make this video again, I would probably include a small bit about them.

[@borisball811]

Fallow deer aren’t stags or hinds
