Numbers of 'Asbo Bambi' on the up in UK

Muntjac deer, the so-called 'Asbo Bambis', are being seen as far north as Loch Lomond in Scotland, a survey for the British Deer Society has revealed.

The technical advisor of the British Deer Society said "most people in England" are probably living close to the deer "without being aware of it".

Charles Smith-Jones, the author of 'Muntjac: Managing an Alien Species', told the World at One they've "spread gradually" but culls are conducted to ensure numbers remain at "a sensible level".
