Heron, 2 swans, several moorhens all scattered by my daft lab on our morning walk by the river...she only wants to play but it never works!

Re: Today's Wildlife Encounter
Not today, but my last few runs in the evening I've been coming across a lot of deer. There seem to be 100's of them a lot more than I normally see?

A load of cows, some sheep, some lambs, 2 big dogs, 2 horses, a few swans and a posse of ducks on my way to work this morning.

Re: Today's Wildlife Encounter

I did see a heron once while up in the Cheviots... got quite close to it as well before it spread its huge wings and disappeared into the sky. Also encountered a huge stag on the same day.
There you go ML...the tone is now clean clean clean ;)
