I saw a small deer last night with what I think was an injured hind leg. Then, later on, whilst sat on Caw waiting for the runners to appear in the race, I saw fox wandering about below me for 5 or 6 minutes!

Stolly and I came across this stoat up a tree during our gorgeous run around Oxenber and Wharfe woods today. I expect it was looking for a bird's nest to raid!
