Real treat tonight. Golden Plover on upper slpoes of Great Whernside

I saw several there yesterday, one really close up. Two of them were at the summit.

Great grey shrike in the Duddon Valley on Saturday, near Seathwaite Tarn. No idea what it was doing there - it should be in Scandinavia by now I think. Anyway, it's the first one I've ever seen, so BIG TICK. But no small ticks, thankfully.

A deer (roe I think) while walking the hound at 5:45 this morning. Last week I drove for maybe 200 yards on the lane over the tops to Kirkby Malham following another (roe?) deer not 20 yards in front of me

Had an amazing wildlife run today only to be beaten on my descent of the mountain whereby by Gary told me of his wildlife encounter. I ran up to 2400m and just below the summit I saw 12 circling Griffon Vultures, when I got back down to Gary he told me that he had been stood watching around 40 feeding lower down the mountain. Absolutely the most amazing thing I have ever seen.
