It takes around 3 hours to walk out of this area, which we did after dark, and didn’t hear a murmur on the way out - but did see two hinds and a yearling feeding on the side of the road within a couple of minutes of getting back in the car.

Yup, echos my experience earlier this week, heard 1 distant roar, got one reply then nothing....it was rather warm and North West so not really surprising.
