Was riding home from Canary Wharf last night, along the Regents Canal next to Victoria Park, when I spotted a bright pair of eyes in the water (reflecting my helmet light), thought it was a dog or something in trouble so stopped to see if I could help it out, much to my suprise it was a blingin Muntjac Deer!?
Have never seen on in Victoria Park in 6 years, is there a population in there? Was really suprised to see the little fella! It was pretty scared of the bright light from my Ay-ups and swam to the other side of the canal, where it eventually found a shallow bank it could clamber out on to (someone's backyard!), hope it was OK, though can't see how it'd go on the streets of Dalston/Bethnal Green!
Anyone else seen or heard of deer this central in London town?
