A white fallow buck was spotted in Bushy Park last week with a new-born fawn.

Normally fallow deer give birth in May or June.

Experts at the Wildlife Trust expressed surprise at what they called "a very late birth". Valerie English, a web entrepreneur from Hanworth, was walking through the park just over a week ago when she captured the scene on film.

"I couldn't believe it when he picked up the fawn," she said. "I have never seen a buck as white as this one.

"He looked so mystical against the autumn colour.

"He picked the baby up with both legs in his mouth - you can see the fawn wriggling - then let him down gently back on to the grass."
