«Breaking News» Photographer captures the moment a herd of deer are chased by a dog in Richmond Park

The moment a wayward pet caused a stampede of dozens of deer including several fully-grown stags in a London park has been cpatured by a photographer.

The animals were chased across Richmond Park in southwest London by a dog before crossing back across one of the park's waterways and straight towards the lens of the lucky snapper.

The unnamed photographer was capturing the park's famous red and fallow deer from a distance when suddenly he saw them moving at speed.

Bucks startled by the appearance of the pet launched themselves into the water creating a spectacular splashing scene

The animals moved as a group towards the photographer to escape the marauding pet, placing him in the perfect spot

The lucky snapper was able to capture the speed and energy of the deer as they ran past his lens leaving the dog in their wake

He realised the animals were stampeding after fleeing from a dog off the lead, which was chasing them.

Eventually the wild animals gathered in a protective group and the dog could no longer worry them and the stampede ran out of steam.

The photographer said: 'The dog chased the deer across the river, then it was chasing them in circles.

Deer in the distance start to move as the large brown dog (circled) heads in their direction across the grass they graze

As the dog picks up speed the panic among the deer increases and they run fast into the gloom of Richmond Park, as one buck trots into the water towards the camera

'Luckily, then the group came together so the dog couldn't pick off a single one.

'I wasn't expecting the deer to circle back and come back across the river.'

The 630 red and fallow deer of the park, which is a national Nature Reserve, have been roaming freely since 1637. The deer have played a major role in the park's history and have shaped the landscape too.

Its grassland is dependent on grazing by the herds and the parkland trees have a distinctive 'browse line' as the deer eat all the leaves and twigs growing below about 1.5 metres. 

Nine of the animals entered the water in a group and picked up speed as they ran from the dog in the London parkland

The bucks were joined by others as the animals sought refuge in safety in numbers having fled the grassland they graze

Deer grazing also prevents tree seedlings from growing, keeping the grassland open.

During the autumn breeding season the bucks roar, bark, and clash antlers as they compete for the attentions of the females.

The young are born between May and July and are hidden by their mothers in the bracken and long grass.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
