Hi David,
Are you really sure it is a deer ? It is too high pitched for a Red Deer, quite
unlike the Roe Deer I record in Switzerland (examples on my site), or the
Muntjac I used to hear in Asia, and to be honest with the high-pitched, short
irregular calls if I heard that on "my patch" I would tell myself it was a
medium sized dog. But I do not know the sounds of other UK introduced species,
I know Tom posted Fallow Deer here recently. Hope this helps with the
elimination.
