    Re: Today's Wildlife Encounter

    this morning at 04.30 in the car park(riverside, beside leeds train station and the river aire) i heard a right racket.
    I thought it was a couple of young owls,so started looking up and about.
    something caught the corner of my eye,
    on the floor were 2 minks having a right set too.
    they looked at me in the eye,and just caried on scrapping.

    I was reading recently that otters have been spotted round there as well. Amazing

    I saw the colony of black rabbits at the side of the Wessenden valley nearly Butterley res tonight. It seems that pet rabbits escaped for a bit of country rough and have breed like.... rabbits.

    Whilst I was running in Hackfall Woods this evening, a roe deer leapt across my path. She was the most beautiful colour in the low sun. I went to see where she'd gone and couldn't hear any crashing in the wood. It took a few moments for me to spot her looking back at me from the trees. She stared right at me then tilted her head and turned and jogged off into the trees...magical!

    cant believe just how much berries the trees are holding at the moment.
    The holly bushes are teeming ,
    was the old fable that a lot of berries means a bad winter?

    not just berries, all fruiting trees have had a bumper year

    What we believe to be a golden eagle hanging around our back garden. I'll try to get a better picture later.
