Scramble the rock face through the glare of morning sun — to run
I saw it yesterday (Sunday) - not sure as to its exact whereabouts today!

I'm hoping and praying it doesn't get shot by a farmer or gamekeeper.
On a smaller note, last Wednesday when I was running down towards Higher Poynton outside the Lyme Park boundary, a buzzard took off from the wall on my right and flew down the hill in front of me, swerving from left to right. I wondered if it had evolved the swerving technique to evade bullets. Only (half) joking. ;-)
Visited Bempton Cliffs RSPB reserve today on the east coast, up from Brid. Superb seabird action including Puffins. Highlight though was a very close sighting of a young Peragrine sat on the cliff top. Wandered further along the cliff top and then returned - Two young Peregrines!
A pair of young deer grazing in the middle of a fairway.
I went for a run with Mrs Noel two days ago and saw deer across the valley. Then drove to town yesterday and they were still there. Then drove back from town and they were still there! And before anyone says it, this isn't a deer farm - all the fences are quite low and there are sheep and a few horses in there.
Also, a male blackcap mithering my blackcurrants. No geese on my gooseberries thankfully.
In his lifetime he suffered from unreality, as do so many Englishmen.
