This has to be a first... but I'm really not sure what animal it was!
We were driving on the way to Stanmore, in North London when a deer bounded across the road. It was very small, but managed to get over nearly in a single jump... at first I thought it was a Gold Retriever or something similar- Snowlynx initially thought it was a fox. Too slender to be a muntjac, (although I'm going by photos of them- they look a bit stocky.)
I'm not sure if it was a Roe or Chinese Water Deer, so I guess an ID is going to depend on the area. I'll try and pin down a more exact location of where we saw it-
quite a busy road, large houses along it but also some woodland as well.
