UNUSUAL ROE DEER RESCUE FOR CROSBY COASTGUARD
Crosby Coastguard Rescue Team took part in an unusual call out this afternoon when they rescued a Roe Deer from the sea close to the Maritime Rescue Coordination Centre.
At 1.45pm a 999 call was received from a member of public who reported that a deer had run on to the beach and into the sea between Crosby Baths and the Liverpool Maritime Rescue Coordination Centre. Crosby Coastguard Rescue Team was sent to the scene with a local beach ranger and lifeguard patrol.
After a short search the deer was found, safely rescued from the water and brought back to the MRCC to recover. The female roe deer was subsequently released on a country estate.
Tony Topping Watch Manager said:
This incident is particularly unusual as deer are not normally found in Crosby. Im happy to report that the deer was none the worse for its experience and that it was set free in a more suitable habitat.
