This is the first sighting of Deer on Tuggeranong Hill Reserve, and surprisingly close to the suburbs.

A couple of scallywags visiting. A first for me in the reserve.

Probably trampling the White-veined Sand-skipper habitat.

I think the White-veined's are pretty safe Matthew. Have been wondering where these may have come from and note @ChrisHolder reported 4 over in Rob Roy in October 2020 (CNM 4356678). Came across some rub marks (40cm - 110cm high) on a small Cherry Ballart a few months ago and have been pondering the cause. Who knows what visits the reserve of an evening.

It's disturbing to see them in the reserve, even though I had heard they were around. Not like we don't have enough incursions of pest species already
