A small herd of around eight deer has been making regular appearances in gardens – much to the delight of local residents.
Charlotte Hart, 31, has become accustomed to the unusual visitors in her garden in Harold Wood, Essex, UK.
A video filmed on Friday, September 12, shows her boyfriend, Callum Cunningham, 31, feeding the deer in a scene straight out of a Disney film.
Charlotte said: “The deer have been in the area for a while now, so they seem pretty domesticated and not shy at all.
“They were in the garden already eating the bush at the front so Callum ran out with the celery.”
The deer, which have been spotted by both residents and delivery drivers, often visit front and back gardens, nibbling on shrubbery wherever they can get access.
Hart added: “They have come every few weeks for the last year.
“Most of the time they go into people’s front gardens eating the shrubbery or the back gardens if they can get access.”
The animals’ frequent appearances have even prompted the installation of a warning sign on the A12 between Harold Wood and Harold Hill to alert drivers to their presence.
