Ross Bartlett was on the outskirts of Bishop’s Waltham when he saw the albino animal running nearby.

With his phone in hand, Ross hastily snapped a handful of photos before the Albino Muntjac Deer disappeared. The 36-year-old machinery dealer said he briefly saw a white deer a few months earlier but believed it to be a trick of the eye.

Speaking on the sighting on December 15, Ross said: “I spotted a white deer darting across the track five months ago and I thought I was seeing things. “I haven’t seen anything like that before and I have lived in the area for about 25 years. “I saw this white deer on Friday morning and as I had my phone in my hand I took some photos, and then it was gone.

“People have told me they’ve never seen one before.”
