There are two dead adult roe in the western enclosure - both seem slightly unusual.
One is halfway down the hedgeline. There's a distance of around 20 metres between where it's been killed/died (1) and where it's been broken up and the remains have been left (2). That seems unusual and challenging for a fox - could badgers do that - or dogs?
The other carcass is close to the southern gate. It looks intact, although the back leg has been eaten, but... There's fur outside the enclosure and on the gate post, suggesting someone's dragged the dead deer into the field.
I'm sharing this not to be gross or sensationalist, but in case this is evidence of dogs, poaching etc and we need to keep eye out.
