I saw a grass snake today topping up its tan in the sun.

...and again today. I ended up having to jump over it. <shudder>.

I'll be walking on burning coals in bare feet next week.

Horse-flys today......must have sent about 50 of them back to hell, from where they came.

[The Piglit]

Well not exactly wildlife I know but I saw some Alpacas in a field just below Ringinglow today. They were all wrong - like sheep from outer space.

two stoats (or possibly weasels ) on Black Hill (near Disley)
more of those freakin heather flies
and last week I saw some fish (big 'uns - tench? ) in the Bridgewater Canal near Runcorn

Bees, Nothing unusual there you might think but a local farm has taken on about 20 hives. Lots of nice heather flowering at the moment with a nice bit of road in between the two.

I had to run down said road, 300m of which i had to keep my mouth shut(not easy) they were bouncing off my head, arm, legs etc the air was thick with them. a bit disturbing really.

Oh and the twitch continues nearby. A peregrin I think?

A Tawny Owl in the woods while out running and a Little Owl sat on a wall on the way back home

Saw some pigeons in Preston today.
