ROE DEER
The Roe is one of the truly native deer of the British Isles. Records of them date to before the Mesolithic period (6000 to 10000 years BC).
Today, Roe deer are abundant throughout the British Isles. They are strongly associated with woodlands.
Roe deer vary in coat colour throughout the year, being most distinguishable in the summer when their coats are bright rusty red. In winter, their coats turn a dull, slate grey colour.
Both sexes have a prominent white rump and no tail. Females (does) have a small ‘tush’ or tuft of hair similar to a tail at the base of the rump patch during the winter.
Roe deer have large black eyes, noses, and mouths surrounded by white/pale areas. They have large ears. Males (bucks) have small antlers, which have three points when fully grown. Antlers are described as ‘pearled’ or ‘bearded’ when they are heavily textured with lots of nodules.
Roe deer are dainty creatures and leave small hoof prints (slots) about 4cm long in soft ground. They use well-worn paths across their range and along these, you may find small piles of faeces.
