    Deer. Near Marrick in North Yorks earlier in the week. There were 3 deer one day, and one deer the next (on the same run). They weren't very big, so maybe Roe deer.

    Saw what must have been 300+ lapwings flocking over Morrisons in Hyde. Talking to a couple of Glossopdale Harriers in Up and Running who had seen deer on Hobson Moor above Hadfield.

    Whilst out running on Pex Hill tonight came across a lovely Barn Owl sat on a fence post about 8ft from me then it flew off over the fields. Superb.

    You beat me to it Ady, How wet was it last night, went out this morning road running as I thought the hills may be a tad damp. I had to wade through flood waters, sandbanks, mud and burst streams along my route.

    It certainly felt like fell running!

    Short-eared owl on Birchenough hill, near Buxton, at 6 pm tonight. It circled me twice, close enough that I could see it's yellow eyes, then dived on something about 20 feet in front of me before taking off again.

    Followed a young or female badger up our track the other night for about 3 minutes. I've seen them locally before but the two kids hadn't seen a badger before.

    Buzzard

    swooped in from nowhere right in front of me across my path, and perched on a fence-post
    I stopped about 6 feet away from it and we looked at each other for a few seconds before it flapped it's way to perch further away from me down a fence at right angles to the path

    this was near Norton Priory near Runcorn btw

    looked very like this:
