Orphaned baby deer meets her new pals at Mountfitchet Castle.
Tuesday, 20th October 2015.
Little Petal, a Fallow deer, was orphaned at just a few days old and was found near Barnston, Dunmow by a very worried couple on 26th June this year. They contacted us at Mountfitchet Castle in Stansted, Essex for help and we immediately took her into our care.
After three months of hand rearing at a quiet location Petal was moved to the medieval village yesterday where she met her new life-long friends in the shape of the resident five strong herd of rescued Fallow deer already living within the castle grounds.
She has settled in beautifully with all the other deer and she loves nothing better than to be hand fed by everyone and is looking forward to the many visitors coming next week for half term.
