Re: Today's Wildlife Encounter
I saw a lovely roe buck on my run today. It stopped to have a good look at me before bounding off into the woods. Really beautiful.
Loads of squirrels, oystercatchers, curlew, lapwings, a woodpecker and some interesting looking geese that I haven't dentified yet.

saw 3 bumble bees today The first of the year!
1 stoat/weasel (Dead) 6 pure white hares, a vole and a flock of startled birds(torch dead by this time) so all I could say is they were small!
Re: Today's Wildlife Encounter
I'm very envious of the white hares and have a fondness for bumblebees. Shame about the stoat/weasel though.

Not exactly 'wildlife'...more like 'life in a wild place'. Last Sunday's Kendal Winter League Cautley race. Cautley Crag and Spout in the background.

Re: Today's Wildlife Encounter
Great spotted woodpecker seen in Breary marsh this morning at about 6:30. Heard it tapping away from quite a distance and started looking for it when it sounded close. Stood under the tree where it was and watched it for a few minutes, it was a belter. Sun was in my eyes a bit so couldn't see it super clear but it was only around 10 feet away and I could see the red colouring on it's rump.
