Lizard - sunbathing on the stile I was climbing over just next to the A54 near Macclesfield. I'm not sure what sort, it was sort of greeny-browny and had some patterns on it??

We also saw a Common Lizard on Sunday near the Swamp, Bleaklow. Also saw a squirrel on the top of Kinder - strange place for a squirrel to be?

I've seen squirrels on Kinder before, but usually earlier in the year. I presume they were feeding on the eggs of ground-nesting birds.

Last night I was sat in the living room when a bat suddenly appeared! (No, not a cricket bat - one of those flying mouse type things). It wouldn't settle anywhere, so I couldn't pick it up. Eventually, I managed to usher it through to the kitchen & out of the back door. It wasn't keen to go outside, though - must've been the rain.

You ushered it out of the back door, Geoff? Nice one!
