My first red squirrel, on the edge of the village. Went to check a couple of grey squirrel traps and there was a red on the ground about 30m away.
Taken me 5 years to see one in the flesh!
One swallow
A pair of Red Kites attempting to catch a pigeon.
A volery (no idea why this collective noun) of pied wagtails. About 20 of them flitting about a car park in Macclesfield.
Then two hedgehogs pootling about within about 200 yards of each other by the side of the road.
Grass snake swimming in Grantham canal this evening.
Three Manadarin Ducks on the Peak Forest Canal between New Mills and Marple this morning. I kid you not.
A decent flock of house martin by the Leeds - Liverpool canal today between Silsden and Keighley (plus several jay and two kingfisher). Swallow are possible well into October
A shrew fighting off my dog near the top of Fairfield yesterday. I hope it wasn't too injured in the fracas - there's always a fine line when you should put something out of its misery and leave it to recover.
