This is the moment a muntjac deer 'ice-skated' her way across a frozen brook - in scenes reminiscent of the Disney classic Bambi.
Tony Marshall, 52, captured the adorable scenes on camera while visiting Rutland Water Nature Reserve in -5C temperatures.
The female deer can be seen trotting into view from the undergrowth before her legs were sent sprawling as she took to the ice.
The determined animal continues to struggle to regain her footing as she slips and slides but safely makes it to the other side - without any help from Thumper.
