    Saw a decent size murmuration of starlings this afternoon near Silsden reservoir. It was interesting seeing small group of birds joining into the action

    good photo....where's the location? lucky to have him for so long.

    neighbour of ours was walking his dogs near Chew reservoir and they were barking mentally....he'd stumbled upon 2 deer!

    last night i was sat at mills hills station facing castleton direction.
    a big dog fox came to the rail head 25 yards ahead,stood on the track,looked me straight in the eye and wandered off.
    he was on of the biggest i have seen in a long time and his chest was a brilliant white.

    Re: Today's Wildlife Encounter

    First time in a while I don't actually know what I saw. North Wales, middle of no-where, by a dam and a river, we startled a bird and it flew off up the river. I think it was of about jackdaw sized, but with slightly more pointy wings, wing beat was about the same as a jackdaw, and it had dark wings with bright bars- dusky yellow or orange as it flew (this is looking down on it, not up).
    Couldnt tell you what it sounded like, or beak shape etc. I just know ive never seen one before.

    Thats how I remember it... though Grouse saw it too, and might have a different recollection...
    What the heck was it?
