    bat nearly hit me in the face tonight as I jumped down the steps leaving the running club. Scared the life out of me, like a little silent spitfire banking right in front of my face.

    2 owls outside our house at 1am this morning...have described the screeches they made to someone and am told it's Tawny owls that are nesting nearby. I was so curious by their callings that I hung my head out of the window and actually saw one of them fly out of a tree opposite, amazing.

    Pretty sure I saw a dead Polecat (...not for the first time.) Didn't think they were in Cumbria!?

    Re: Today's Wildlife Encounter

    I've seen two dead near Masham and the other evening I was leaving Mickley and a little bandit faced polecat type creature was peeping out of the hedgerow at me. I think the two dead ones were polecat ferrets but am not sure about the live one, could've been a polecat, a ferret or a hybrid of the two, either way it was quite a cutie.
