A woman had a 'fairytale' experience after spotting - a rare white deer.<br /><br />Esha Patel, 19, was out for a fishing trip with her dad when they saw three of the animals.<br /><br />The Cardiff University student from Cheltenham., Glos, said two were brown and one "dazzling white".<br /><br />Esha described the experience as "breathtaking".<br /><br />She said: "The white one came so close - only three metres away! It was beautiful and so cute.<br /><br />"I think it liked me because I threw it some bread - I loved it."<br /><br />According to wildlife sources, the chances of seeing the species in the UK are 'extremely rare'.<br /><br />Esha said: "After I saw the deer I read that the chances of spotting them are around one in 30,000.<br /><br />"Apparently it's really good luck to see them so I was going to buy a lottery ticket!<br /><br />"We have never seen one before and my dad was like are you sure it was a deer and not a goat? <br /><br />"So we had to re-watch the videos when we got home to confirm it.''<br /><br />The exact location of the deer will not be identified in order to ensure the safety of the rare creature.<br /><br />Esha said: "I do think these beautiful animals should be protected and loved - hunters think they are worth a lot of money, but you can't put a price on this."<br /><br />It was spotted on October 8.
