DEER COUNT
-
Posted by Andy Harris on 08 March 2010
On a very cold Sunday morning the Quantock Deer Management and Conservation Group’s (QDMCG) deer count took place. For several years I have worked with Jochen Langbein to liaise with the many dedicated volunteers to cover 44 areas right across the AONB and with perfect conditions the count got underway at 06:00.
It will take several days to gather in all the results from everyone and then a few more to go through them all making sure there’s no double counting before a final figure can be presented to the QDMCG. Last year the total was 680 red deer and 39 roe deer. I’ll keep you posted on how this year unfolds.
