I've got a week's worth of encounters to report on.

Peregrine falcon doing stoop dives at Combe Martin, North Devon coast

Five red deer on Ilkerton ridge, Exmoor. The dog and I followed them for about 3/4 of a mile, with them staying about 200 yards ahead of us. There was one with full antlers, two with small antlers and two without antlers.

Lots of crabs, anemones, and one starfish on various Cornish beaches. We were hoping for a basking shark sighting, but no luck.
