A wildlife photographer in Richmond Park came across a deer with an unlikely accessory.
It’s always wonderful to see deer in the UK, but one photographer got a special treat when he spied one of these animals sporting a new accessory: a jackdaw.
Wildlife photographer Felix Belloin was in Richmond Park when he saw the unusual duo: the deer was standing calmly as if it didn’t notice the bird perched right on its noggin, pecking gently at its face.
“Don’t forget your hat,” Belloin jokes while sharing the footage on Instagram.
Although it looks odd, these two creatures actually help each other out. “Jackdaws help the deer lose some of their winter coat by collecting it, and using it to line their nests,” says the RSPB in a similar video on Facebook.
