    Actually on reflection a "Dog fight" might be a better

    Re: Today's Wildlife Encounter

    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.

    An owl in the middle of the road at 10pm near Llandegla, N Wales, hopefully it will have moved on now.

    I know I wasn't running at the time but I saw a Scarce Swallowtail butterfly sat on my washing line this afternoon, turns out they aren't scarce at all but quite common. It was truly beautiful though.
