Red Deer, Roe Deer, Brown Hare come first to mind but
certainly there must be more herbivores native to Britain; think of
those countless friends and relations of Rabbit in Winnie the Pooh ..
Henry Rush, Alexander Beetle, Late, Early, .. and Smallest-of-All

I think Angus has yet again got his facts mixed up.  If it is a county 
naturalists trust reserve there won't be anyone on a him salary.

Secondly he is talking a bout the comparison of funds for a reserve 
compared to the CEO salary as if all any organisation did was run a 
single reserve while paying the CEO the going rate for a large 
organisation.

CEOs only get the going rate for the job and with the agreement of the 
members of the organisation.  Angus always try tries to put it over as 
if they are free to set their own salary and never be called to account.
