Didn't see as many hares as usual yesterday. only 5-8 but the snow filled cloughs were covered in tracks.
A Nuthatch impersonating a small woodpecker in Consal Woods in the Churnet valley.
A buzzard over Three Shires Head in the glorious sunshine. It may also have been doing an impersonation, but I wasn't close enough to hear it.
How did you know it was a stoat, Hes?
Probably because a weasel is weasily recognised, but a stoat is stotally different :DQuote:

Lovely walk this afternoon by Wharfe after Ilkley race. Highlights included five or six Dippers, Grey Wagtail, Oystercatcher and lovely close-up view of Heron flying over Barden Bridge :)

A black grouse on Pendle. Not seen one there before.
Fox on the levee. Tockwith.

Up on the chimney of King Street Studios at Pateley Bridge, 9.30pm. It was enormous and a young policeman showed up with a high powered torch and we got a really clear look at its huge eyes and tufty ears before it flew away. Blooming amazing.
Cape Wagtails. Very common over here :cool:
This thread could get very interesting given where you currently are, Tup!!:DQuote:

2 roe deer on my way to work this morning.:)
An owl was following me round the playing fields behing my house last night whilst i lapped it.
It kept giving a screetch every so often...i wonder if i was disturbing mice?
No idea what owl it was, perhaps a tawny?
plenty of Mountain Hares and red grouse today....
.... oh yes an a Chinook!!
Loads of lizards basking in the sun.
