One of the benefits of getting around the borough leafleting at election time is the accidental discoveries that take place in an area that is full of surprises.
In a corner of Wembley I bumped into Jay Patel who told me about the muntjac deer he sees from his garden close to the River Brent.
Jay says:
It highlights that it is important to look after the river and also
not allow developers to build on the small conservation area. The deer
come quite often individually however, I managed to see two together
once. I see them most days, they graze there in the open space, eating
the leaves on the trees and also the dandelions.
The deer probably come along the 'green corridors' which provide a route from the home counties into London via rivers and railway lines.
The population is believed by some to have spread from Woburn Park in Bedfordshire
