The Deer Population
Of course, the huge population explosion brings with it its own problems, not least of which are the 74,000 road traffic collisions involving deer each year.
There is also damage to crops - Defra estimates the cost of deer damage to crops at £4.3 million, with some of the greatest damage to cereal crops in the East of England.
Damage Deers Cause
Damage to trees, woodland shrubs and wild flowers are a common effect of deer populations, which in turn has a detrimental effect on woodland birds, where a 50% decline in numbers has been seen when deer are present.
Red, Roe, Muntjac, Fallow, and Chinese Water Deer can all be found in Norfolk, and with a lack of natural predators to manage the population it seems set to increase.
