Two Short Eared Owls, one on Meltham Moor & One on the slopes of Black Hill. Several Mountain Hare, one still quite white in its winter coat.

We saved a glow worm that was walking across the road yesterday evening - before it was run over by a car.
Saw a fabulous mid-air battle this evening whilst walking the dog between a Crow and a Heron of all things, the Crow was chasing the Heron and having a good old go at it. Only maybe fifteen or twenty feet up in the air in the porter Valley.
Pigeons in the main studio in television centre (where they do all stuff like strictly etc)
I am worried that they will poo on our set
A Roe Deer Crossing the M62 near Junction 20! It was 100 yards in front of us and bounced off the side of an ASTRA & then leapt the central reservation barrier & crossed the western lanes too! It was one lucky deer to make it across alive, as were the occupants of the Astra which swerved & looked like it was up on two wheels.
I'm glad I don't tail gate!
I haven't seen a deer for years.... then 2 in 2 weeks! This one was in Gibson Wood whilst doing the Calder Valley Round, & it had an injured back leg. Also saw a heron in Cowbridge wood & a few Hares.
Wheatear, Golden Plover and Curlew on Fell End Clouds this afternoon.
Almost felt like spring until the tiny particles of powder snow started rattling on my pertex coming off Swarth Fell!
Two adders getting it together on Fylingdales moor. Never seen an adder in this counrty before so a bonus to see two together. My foot landed about 50cm from them!
Ring Ouzels callin' high up on the fells above Coniston.
Not a running encounter, but we were driving back from Windermere the other night and came to traffic that was at a standstill. A few cars ahead of us a motorcyclist had unfortunately met with a deer that was crossing the road. An ambulance was on its way and it looked like he was going to be OK, the poor chap.
