A roe deer at Pennington Flash Country Park
THIS photograph of a roe deer leaping into the water at Pennington Flash is our picture of the week.
It was taken by amateur photographer David Shallcross, who is also the chairman of Leigh Ornithological Society.
The 69-year-old, of Surrey Avenue, Leigh, spotted the deer while he was out bird watching.
He said: “They are quite common in the flash but I thought that the shot was interesting considering it was leaping into the water.”
