TWO Australian tourists captured what appears to be a wallaby on film as it hopped across railway tracks near Princes Risborough.

Ironically photographer Hugh Sykes, 63, and his wife Lesley, 59, had expected to see British wildlife during their trip from down under.

Mr Sykes, from Sydney, said: "We are still pinching ourselves," and Mrs Sykes added: "It didn't occur to me it could be real."

This latest sighting, at the weekend, follows the sighting of a dead wallaby in late October by motorists on the M40 near Stokenchurch.
