On a walk on nearby Big Moor (surely someone could find a more original name than that) a place of more open and remote aspect than Blacka. Away from White Edge there is more of a chance of seeing deer than Blacka but less of getting close up to them. I get the impression that many are fallow deer does but I don't believe in walking about with heavy binoculars - mine are very small.
However in the distance I did see one huge red stag with many pointed antlers. As I saw him in focus he was clearly raising his head and roaring in typical body language reminding me of the time of year. I suspect he is one of the key reasons why the five stags often to be seen on Blacka have sought other pastures.
