This little visitor was spotted by an early morning walker at a Sunderland beauty spot.
Chris Askew snapped the young deer near Hylton Castle.
The surrounding Hylton Dene provides an important wildlife corridor through Wearside, and while deer seem unlikely visitors to more central areas of the city, it is not unknown.
Sightings have also been reported in Barnes Park and other leafy areas of Sunderland.
