    No, although I have been chased by cows. Oh, and when I used to ride a bike, a pheasant once ran alongside for quite a way, stopped when I did, then carried on alongside for a while. I didn't want to speed up in case it suddenly turned into my wheel, they aren't very bright.

    I saw my first Red Kite in northern England this week (Thursday)
    Driving from Harrogate towards Skipton on the A59 at Beamsley Hill.
    I have seen them down south but never up north.

    I see loads of kites, they're probably my favourite bird of prey. I run round harewood fairly often so I see them regularly

    They've started spreading out, too. Often see them soaring high above Bolton Abbey.
    Saw a stoat on Ilkley Moor yesterday. (also more sheep. and more grouse.)
