(The dates on the vids are wrong, BTW - these were caught in the past week.)
Yes, deer use the strip of rough council land at the end of the garden!

I have a couple of questions I don't know if anyone could throw light on:
(1) Two gardens further along, the strip (20' wide?) comes out at a large roundabout, and the next bit of open land would involve crossing that and walking on a bit further. Though there is a verge which the council leaves uncut at this time of year so it has fresh grass and wildflowers. But given the risks, why would a deer (roe, I think) risk doing this when there is plenty of heathland back up the other way? What persuades them to travel?
(2) I haven't yet caught a vid of wildlife/cats when Jasper is barking his head off at them. He gets pretty angry, and I assume that it's a cat or a fix, so triggering aggression rather than prey drive. If he's there when a deer walking past, given that he's on his own and off lead but knows he can't clear the fence, how would you expect him to react? Would he stand there silently thrumming, or would frustration get the better of him and start him ranting, even though this doesn't happen when he's on lead and we spot a deer? Not that it's important, I'm just interested.
