Was it a deer that made this?

Certainly consistent with a deer bed - I'd say "yes"

You would have to be very unlucky not to find a hair in there, get on thee hands and knees and have a gander next time

Nah - Aliens starting crop circles - but were disturbed......

Looks more like where a deer has had a roll around, rather than a 'bed'. The grass is all squashed in one direction and not pressed flat to the ground, indicating that it wasn't there long. Usually where they have bedded down for a while the grass is bent in all directions, and the grass is more squashed. Good call though, and you should certainly find a hair or two in the brambles on the edge....

Certainly at this time of year you tend to find large chunks of hair about. However, I tend to find droppings in or near areas where dear have laid down for a while and can't see any in the pic.

Good eyes sir

Can't see any hair or droppings but might bung the wildlife camera near there to see if anything turns up
