Weymouth rescue after deer spotted swimming in the sea
Boat passengers enjoying a mackerel fishing trip had a very unexpected catch of the day.
Those on board the Sole Venture worked together to rescue a baby deer spotted in the water near Weymouth harbour.
Skipper Mark Bowditch said they saw "a pair of ears" and used a makeshift lasso to bring the foal on board.
The animal was brought back to shore and released safely into nearby woods.
