Deer found swimming half a mile off UK coast rescued by fisherman
A fishing boat skipper was shocked to find a young deer swimming half a mile off the coast of Weymouth, and managed to help it onboard to stop the doe from drowning.
Mark Bowditch, 56, was on a mackerel fishing charter with his wife and three kids when he spotted what he initially thought was a basking shark.
Bowditch was then surprised to see two ears sticking out of the water, and managed to save the exhausted animal before it ran out of energy.
