Muntjac barking

Here’s a recording of Muntjac barking the other day in Whichford woods. This particular Muntjac was standing across the wood about 30 metres away, unmoving, but occasionally pawing the ground with its forefeet. It had definitely seen me creeping about the wood, despite my stealth. In the end I gave up and slunk off into the woodland. I’m a bit dim about wildlife in general but research tells me it’s the Muntjac that barks quite so serially.

    I heard this last night in our garden, it only stopped when I went out with a torch. We see them around quite regularly, and have even seen a trio of stag, doe and fawn together. They love windfall apples.

    That is the most amazing sound. I never realised deer were so noisy! They are seemingly so quiet and unassuming. Great to hear this full on recital of deer noises.
