Fawn Appears In The Centre of Cobourg

In Local

Michelle Dolphin isn’t sure how it got where it did, but on Friday, August 11, 2023, a fawn seemed to have taken up residence in her backyard.

Dolphin’s backyard is in the centre of Cobourg, located on Spring Street and she has no idea how it arrived in the centre of town without being noticed elsewhere.

The fawn took a drink from Dolphins bird bath in her backyard. Numerous calls were placed to different agencies and rescue centres, but all seemed to have the same opinion of it’s best to leave it and let nature take its course.
