The Isle of Purbeck offers perhaps the greatest density of Sika in Europe. Beautiful to see but devastating for the woodlands and heath.

Sika deer, possibly the most common animal you will see around the Furzebrook Estate and particularly at The Blue Pool, Dorset. Sika deer were first introduced to Poole Harbour in 1895 at Hyde House Park and a small group the following year on Brownsea Island. The deer on Brownsea were seen swimming from the island to the mainland the same night! Due to their high reproduction success rate and low infant mortality and their ability to survive on a low nutrient diet sika numbers quickly increase. The females are called hinds, the young are called calf’s and the male deer are called stags and start developing ‘button’ pedicels from 6 months old and in their second year grow their first set of spikes (at this stage they are referred to as Pricketts). In their third year they will have a small set of 6 points, finally growing into an 8 point set. A common misconception is that you each point means 1 year in age. During the rut the stags can be heard whistling their erie calls though the woods and heathlands. Thank you to Dan Rushton Photography.

Police say they have "more important things to do" than investigate hunting crimes, activists allege.
