As I went to let the hens out this morning, there was a deer in the fruit cage. It panicked, crashed about a bit and brought down one of the posts, which was already loose from snow damage earlier in the year. It them escaped before OH arrived to help me let it out. It seemed unharmed, and has obviously developed a taste for fruit bushes as well as my chard. OH doesn't believe it exists as he has never seen it!

Its times like that you need a camera handy!!! We used to get Muntjac deer in our garden but no one ever got a photo as they were too quick. I took a photo of a group of deer a few days ago and you cannot see them on the photo but I could in real life. I am glad it got out as it could have been nasty!
