No I don't know about those white deer - a mutant isolated population - how interesting, genetically speaking I mean. I shall check that out on Wiki...

In the end I went back to a piece of stunning rock art from Gardom's Edge
http://www.themodernantiquarian.com/post/13459/gardoms_edge.html
which since Andrew Common Era told me about has etched itself in my mind's eye.

I was very interested to see that at Eggerness we get antelope petroglyphs; common in Scandinavia, all over Africa, but not here.

Antelope ? The engravings don't have Thomas Bewick standards of accuracy so no nothing has ever been suggested which species of deer but antelope seems to a bit imaginative .

Hi Jane,

There's another similar piece of rock art on the outskirts of Sheffield at Ecclesall Woods:

Equally stunning. I have some good pics of it if required!
