Roe Deer On Visit To The Highlands Of Scotland

Tour Scotland travel video, with Scottish music, of Roe deer on visit to the Scottish Highlands. The roe deer is native to the United Kingdom and widespread across woodland, farmland, grassland and heathland habitats. Look for its distinctive pale rump and short antlers.The fallow deer is an elegant, medium sized deer. Fallow deer prefer deciduous or mixed woodland with large clearings, typically living in small herds. They are also common in many deer parks throughout the country. They eat grasses and herbs, and will browse young, broadleaf trees. The fallow deer is variable in colour, but is mostly pale gingery brown, with white spots on the back, a characteristic black and white tail and a white rump patch outlined in black. Some animals are darker brown without any spots, and others are very pale, almost white. Fairly widespread in England, Wales, Ireland and southern Scotland.
