A top Scottish animal charity is asking people not to lift any little Bambis they come across in the wild – unless they are clearly sick or injured.
The Scottish SPCA made the plea after a number of the animals were accidentally removed from their mums by well-meaning members of the public.
The post on their social media pages is aimed at raising awareness that more often than not these fawns have been left there by their mothers while they forage for food, or even to search for a new nesting site.
