New baby deer arrivals Esme and Sparrow!

Meeting the baby fallow deer

Meet Sparrow and Esme, our two new orphaned baby fallow twin deer, believed to be 3 weeks old, donated on the 6th July from Norfolk.

They join our other rescue animals at Mountfitchet Castle.

The new arrivals are settling in so well and being made a fuss of by our visitors!
