THE DEER OF IRELAND - A BRIEF Look at IRELAND'S three DEER Species -WHICH is your favorite ?

In This Video we take look at the three Separate Deer species that call Ireland home,
Sika, Fallow and Red Deer are all 3 species that call Ireland home,
Sika being a small Japanese breed, introduced most recently in 1860.
Fallow Deer being introduced in the 13th Century from south East Asia and would be our most numerous Deer in Ireland.
Our Red Deer is our only Native Deer, but the population has been limited to only few places left in Ireland and with very little or none of the Irish bloodline left.

Absolutely stunning photography. I like the narration (and music) even better. My oldest border collie watches your video intently 2x/day. She follows the deer absolutely with a rubber bone in her mouth, dropping it every so often to bark as the deer move quickly. She is old with arthritis and cannot herd anymore, but she gets huge pleasure from your video --and so do I. Thank you so much for sharing it. Magnificent opus. Your film brightens our lives here in Vermont.

I did not know there were 3 different kinds of deer there! Absolutely stunning animals ❤

Love the way he so easily gets under the wire

[@jimbrown5552]

Thanks again for sharing

[@irishhunter22]

Out of the 3 well known species of deer in Ireland reds are the animals that people love the most,but in my mind don't have a patch on fallow nothing get the hair raised more than the bellow of a mature fallow Buck during the rutt, nice work

[@308mate]

Sika Stags and hinds, fallow Bucks and does, Red stags and hinds…. Just so you know 😉 fantastic footage 👍

Beautiful footage

[@johnaceboo]

Great video. I really enjoyed it and some of the best video captures I have ever seen especially the very end. What a sunrise to show off a true champion of the meadow. ❤️

[@FionnODonoghue]

Thank you very much!

[@nikolaodonnell6813]

Beautiful. So enjoyable to listen to and see these wonderful animals out in the wild

[@FionnODonoghue]

They are beautiful! Thanks Thanks much for watching 😁 🙌

[@Bdoc76]

Maith thu, top notch little film there Sir, get to see them just a little down the road from you, towards Enniskillen.

[@tonysdatamodels2134]

Nice video Fionn. Really good to see somebody making this type of content. I research deer health in Ireland and would love to share any of the research / things I've learned. Especially if it provided any fuel for more video content like this.

[@FionnODonoghue]

Always happy to Tony ! could be a cool idea 👍

[@susandunne1482]

Just amazing

[@FionnODonoghue]

Thank you Susan !

[@gerrymeehan1629]

It was all going really well until the point where you said it was unfortunate that they got hunted , I can clarify they taste delicious and many a family was raised on them and rabbits etc but you would never have to endure that kind of hardship would you

[@scattypetty]

The last shot is pretty cool, to see how aware he is of his antlers. Makes me think of those dogs that get stuck in a door carrying a large stick horizontally.

[@FionnODonoghue]

I thought the same, deserve far more credit that they get ! Thanks for watching

[@ritalawson7020]

Beautiful the deer are so lovely ❤❤

[@chloesibilla8199]

The thalo deer look like they have magic powers

[@trevorchristmas4386]

This is like a documentary

[@chrisdoherty2199]

Amazing minidoc

[@FionnODonoghue]

Thank you !

[@thechin2875]

By any chance was this shot in cootehill in Cavan? The fallow deer spots look like places I've seen in dartry forest

[@FionnODonoghue]

Not the deer in dartry forest but look very like them alright :) the fallow deer were shot in cavan tho, 👌

[@leekelly5117]

I've found a pair of stag antlers in the forest in Co armagh are they valuable

[@maegywiththebeans9716]

I love Irish accents :)

[@fergspan5727]

Wicklow mountains is also a great spot for deer

[@FionnODonoghue]

Been meaning to visit !

[@chloesibilla8199]

That red deer looked like a king and it looked like he knew it .

[@lesleychamberlain9568]

All

[@leekelly5117]

Fionn what part of Ireland are you in?

[@FionnODonoghue]

Hi Lee, I'm a Cavan man myself however for this Video I was in Cavan and Kerry 👍 Thanks for watching

[@leekelly5117]

@@FionnODonoghue nice I'm not too far away in Newry love your channel, glad someone is covering and protecting this beautiful nature in a place we call home

[@FionnODonoghue]

Thanks Lee appreciate that 👍 🙏

[@PhilInsane]

is this cavan?

[@FionnODonoghue]

Parts of it are shot in Cavan yes :) some others in Killarney, Kerry :)

[@jamessomerville.1999]

I also do have a video of two red stags rutting . I can share it with you if you P.m me

[@FionnODonoghue]

Thank you :)

[@theirishhunter9848]

I love deer mostly the fallow deer but if we don’t kill the deer there will be to much of them and they will overpopulate

[@jayuppercase3398]

They strip bark from trees, had hundreds of fruit trees destroyed by these fuckers, and there weren't many deer involved, ignored the meadow of grass and ringed each tree

[@Kxioy]

It’s an awful shame you was shooting them with the wrong thing 😁should have being a gun not a camera 😂😂

[@DDGandi]

Ireland need wolfs

[@FionnODonoghue]

Would agree l, unfortunately with the state of our ecosystems it would actually be unfair to bring them in as it is now, hopefully one day iur wild areas will be good enough for them to be reintroduced !

[@paddyt4043]

Look im all for more of them, cause they are the tasty most nutritional meat on the island , your poo will smell like mountain grass after eating it 😂...

[@seaflyfisher]

Superb video, you obviously love your wildlife - I've just been lucky enough to have the first three weeks of October filming at my home in the New Forest for the Red and Fallow Rut - I've got so much footage to go through to edit now but I have some incredible shots - if you have five minutes, have a look and you'll see how lucky we are to live here - my page is Seaflyfisher but most of our films are on Paulas - Paulasheba100 - if you ever find yourself over here, give me a shout and come out with us - keep up the good work - Dale
