There are more deer in Britain today than at any time in the last 1,000 years
according to a 2018 Countryfile programme. The population was put at two million,
whilst the Deer Initiative says that numbers have doubled since 1999. What is clear
is that the population and range of the three species commonly found in lowland
England, the fallow, roe and muntjac, have expanded exponentially over recent
decades.
