I have to continually revise my ideas of the number of wild deer on Blacka. This morning there were six seen from the footpath climbing west from Lenny Hill. Two of these are young (pictured above), while the others were young stags. The larger stag seen yesterday was not there, nor the hind. so it's questionable whether one of these young deer is the calf usually seen in a family group. Several of the young stags had simple horns, unbranched, one was a few years older with fuller antlers and very shaggy around the neck, and also present was the young stag with a single horn only on one side.
