In a variation from normal routine this morning's walk took us to White Edge beside Big Moor. Not far from Blacka, this site also has deer. Those of us who regularly walk on Blacka are fond of the red deer we see from time to time. They are free spirits and bring a wild perspective to the landscape. But it seems that there are those around who see the deer as serving their own purposes. Six deer on Big Moor, so I have been told, have recently been killed by determined men who used vehicles to break through wooden gates. Some hoofprints were visible on the paths this morning but little else in the low cloud.
