Wild Deer

Wild Deers live in forests and are herbivores Wild grasses are a tasty food, but they prefer to partake of the young and tender shoots Leaves and Buds and twigs along the way On Honeysuckle where the bees sucks so the Deer sucks too Blackberry leaves and fruit just turn them on Nuts they like but don't so often find them Acorns, Beech and Hickory but when They get a chance to raid a local garden in Deer parlance they score 10 out of 10 Mushrooms the odd Dandelion and Sedges also do provide them with some added minerals and theres a clue they'll get up on their hindlegs and pullaway the leaves nutrition is a key part of what the wild deer retrieves So when we drive in Ashridge take your foot off 20 miles per hour Please don't do more Some cars doing 50 even 60 what chance has a wild deer, I emplore Everyone to think about the wild life It shares the road through forests every day think and care and love the wild wild creatures there, really that is all I have to say (Inspired by a conversation with my friend Frankie of Aldbury) |
