Stag shows off football skills with ball in river at London park

A sporty stag has been spotted practicing its football technique in a south-west London park.
Katie O’Lone, who captured the video, was walking in Bushy Park in Richmond-upon-Thames when she spotted the animal.
"The stags often wallow in the river in Bushy Park in the early evening but today they seemed to have football fever with one dribbling up stream having found an abandoned football stuck in the reeds", Katie said.
