ADORABLE YOUNG FALLOW DEER IN LONDON'S BUSHY PARK

An adorable young fallow deer peers over its shoulder and is greeted by a cheeky jackdaw crow sitting on its back. Surrounded by misty woodland in south-west London, the pair appear to have escaped from a scene in Walt Disney's classic 1942 animated film, Bambi. The moment was captured by 54-year-old photographer Val Saxby at Bushy Park in Richmond upon Thames, London.
