Deer & Native Woodlands in the Uplands


This photograph was taken by the Deer Commission for Scotland as part of a helicopter deer count in Breadalbane in 2008. In many of our upland areas, because of grazing by deer and sheep, the only native trees surviving are in gullies and other inaccessible places, as can be seen here.


You can expand this image to full screen size by simply clicking on it, and count the deer yourself. In this case they are all stags.
Can you identify two species of tree present?
