Just returned from Northumberland and the Farne Islands.
Red Squirrel, deer (not sure what type), comma butterfly, porpoises.
And on the boat trip: gannets, turnstones, shags, cormorants, PUFFINS, razorbills, guillemots, and lots of seals.

loads of tree creepers this year in the local woods

The sandpipers are back on the Ribble today :) There are also two pairs of dippers and a couple of pairs of grey wagtails. I still haven't seen swallow though.
First swallows have arrived in New Mills - they appeared to be recceing the Cracken Edge race route yesterday evening.

Deer in Langsett woods...only the second time I've ever seen them there.
the hills are alive with plover, curlews, lapwings...
Seen swallow around the village the last two or three evenings. Not seen common sand yet
Saw a swallow on South Uist last Friday, so they should be around just about everywhere, albeit in small numbers still.Quote:
