We were recently called to an unusual rescue after a deer became stuck on her back between a wall and a shed.

The deer was found by a member of the public at an address in Pitlochry on 24 February.

Scottish SPCA Animal Rescue Officer Lucy Rattray said, “The deer had become trapped on her back in a narrow space.

“She had been stuck there for a few hours but after a few attempts I was able to free her.

“Thankfully, she only had light grazing to her body and was able to be released only a couple of miles away from where she was found.

“We are grateful to the member of the public who alerted us to the deer in difficulty and preventing any further distress or suffering to this animal."
