We have a small herd of roe deer in my part of the world - see them many mornings when I'm walking the dogs. Saw a buzzard in Walshaw Dean today - a couple of weeks ago it was a pair of peregrine's hunting in almost the same spot.

A pair of dippers yesterday :cool::cool:

We have a family of them too ! They are quite numerous in the upper Worth Valley & along the Bridghouse Beck into Oxen'ope. Lovely. See one up at Ponden Kirk quite often too. Luckily neither our resident mink or idiot rabbit / bird of prey / anything-that-moves killers have seen them.

I had a walk around Ponden Kirk early summer while recovering from torn calf - nice spot! :)

A freshly-dead shrew on the full Tour Pendle route...Scott Baistow tripp'd o'er it!

Almost forgot, a young deer in the woods above Ripponden:cool:

A dozen or so snow buntings (and an inch or so of snow too) on the summit ridge of Helvellyn today.

Two deer (maybe roe deer??) in Bingley (Altar Lane for those who know it).

A worm but the strange thing it was covered in soil!:confused:
