Speaking on the Sefton Police Facebook page, Elle Elmo Ball said: “He might be part of a family. As I know there is a family of deer in The area. I hope you find out where he’s from.”
Jackie Preston said: “I didn’t even know we had any deer around the area, I have never seen any. I hope the deer recovers quickly.”
Joanne Evison-Guest said: “Wonder if he was the same deer that was caught in the fencing a few weeks ago?”
