I saw a long-eared (I think!) owl tonight, sat on a wall watching me and the dogs. Overall greyish looking, not quite brown and roundy-squat looking to be a tawny, and I think it had the long 'ears'...

We saw a Golden Plover this morning while running across the moor behind Simon's Seat and just a few feet away a bunch of plover chicks trying their damnedest to scuttle away through the heather. My trusty photographer took this picture (spot the chick):
Also a deer down by the ford below Storiths and a huge heron further along the river

Is that a 'Mr.' Golden Plover? the one I saw was similar, but much duller. The long-eared owl, I think that was him, he was about 30 yards away...
Just back from a week at Corrour Lodge and some cracking days out on the hills.
Wildlife encounters included loads of deer, ptarmigan, dotterel, golden plover, black grouse and a stunning view of a golden eagle as we dropped off Stob Choire Claurigh
Nobody seen owt lately?
I snapped this lovely Mute Swan on the River Ribble the other evenin'...
A rare buzzard t'other day at Harewood wharfee. Must be a bit odd surrounded by all those red kites!
Poacher turned game-keeper
Went past a heron when I was out running at lunchtime today. Makes a change from the gazzillion geese and swans I usually see.
Snake in the toilet at the school where the Mrs. works!

Brown and green, she says, grass snake? Or crack cobra
