A motorist from the south of the Island says he got a surprise this morning - when he came across a wallaby.

Usually found in the northwest of the Island, the wallaby was spotted on Dalby Mountain.

He took to Twitter to share a photo of the unusual sight, saying he got the fright of his life.

The Manx Wildlife Trust has a nature reserve nearby on the Dalby to Round Table Road.
