Many years ago I did a bit of volunteer work on an RSPB reserve, they had a goshawk nesting in the woods there - very impressive birds although maybe not if you're a quail!
Bigfella, if you want that venison, you'll have to get a mate to drive along behind you because legally, if YOU hit it, You aren't allowed to pick it up as far as I recall! Not quite sure how they enforce that law on dark country lanes in the wee small hours, though...;)

Other clubs might get a dog on the pitch. Not Baildon...

A lovely shot, that one!
I've heard a few golden plover up on Ilkley moor lately, also saw a bird at a distance which I'm pretty sure was a male stonechat. What with dotterel, curlews, skylark, red kite, wheatear and so on, who says there's nowt to see on moorland?!
spent the last couple of days at bainbridge.
heard my first cuckoo,
loads of lapwings but most of all hundreds of slugs up on burtersett and countersett fells.
We had an Tawny Owl(?) sat on our telegraph pole sqwaking away it was!! Not sure why, looked a little big to be a chick, also a bit soon maybe? Got a good look, but it was dark!!
Tonight's wildlife spotting - two young badgers about ten feet away. They ignored me and the dog for about 30 seconds then snuffled towards us before changing their minds and running away. :thumbup:
Saw a heron flying around near Lindley Wood reservoir tonight. Big critters aren't they? Thought it was a pterodactyl at first (hadn't got me glasses on).
And they're extinct as well.
i once saw over a dozen sat in the trees at the trout farm there.
looked so surrreal
