 A deer has been caught on tape peeing in a children's paddling pool in front of a family as it grazed with another deer.

The footage was caught on camera phone and shows the two stunning animals drinking from the water in the pool as a family with children look on.

The two red hinds wandered into Ruth Hampton's garden, at Castle Carrock, Cumbria.

Ruth, 41, who runs the Otter Moss glamping business from her home, bought the red deer five years ago.

But she says her six-year-old twins Honor and Arthur, often leave the gate to their field open, so they can wander into the garden, eat her plants and play in the sandpit.

'They are very cheeky and inquisitive. I've had one in the house before,' she said. 

She took video of them rolling around in the pool, that belongs to the twins. 

'I came back and they said 'mummy, why is there a deer in the paddling pool?'

She explained that she is very happy for the deer to use the pool as they often feel relaxed enough to tinkle in the pool. 

The stunning creatures can be seen grazing in the pool before one of them decides to defecate in the water. The footage was posted online by Ruth, who says the whole thing was 'hilarious'

'That was how it began. But they have defecated it in so I put it out into the field and gave it to them.' 

'And they're a huge pull for my Airbnb guests. It's amazing for everyone else. I'm so used to it but you do get some funny snaps.'
