Central Somerset Gazette
|January 01, 2026
A wild visitor found herself in a real bind after a holiday-season mishap left her tangled and terrified.
-
The animal was discovered caught in sports netting, sparking an urgent response from charity workers who feared the timid creature might not survive the ordeal.
Rescuers from the RSPCA, inspector Jo Daniel and animal rescue officer Alison Sparkes, were called to the Polden Hills to assist the animal.
Jo and Alison worked quickly to carefully untangle the deer before watching her run free into the wild. The rescue took place on Wednesday, December 17.
Jo said: “It's very distressing for timid wild animals like deer to find themselves stuck like this so I knew we had to work fast to free her.
