Something very common but whilst staying at my mum's ive watched several black birds and thrushes busily collecting worms for their young. They must get through vast quantities for each brood.
This morning, I saw a pair of Chinese Water Deer in the field behind my house. Usually the deer seen are muntjac and sometimes lately, roe, but these were a pair of water deer, doe and a buck following her around, passed within a few yards of my back garden fence. The buck's vampire fang tusks were much more obvious than the does, although she had them, and it made his head look more rectangular and dog like, compared to the slightly more triangular doe
That a decent bag. Any interesting facts? actually I've got one; A male sparrowhawk is known as a musket. Ive seen a few more since this morn. collared dove, wren and hooded crow, xx
Up at Glen Park, Filey, spotted a grey squig perched on the entry port of one of those large rectangular waste bins.
The insoucient, apparently world weary, but charming little blighter, all but leaning on one elbow and inspecting his finger nails.
So clearly , cheekily at ease with life , he was worth a very warm chuckle.

Saw this Emperor Moth today. First time I've seen one.
I saw a lizard which is a rare sight for me. The temperature was around 22 C so it scuttled away FAST.
no, unfortunately not... if there any around it would be most likely high up in the mountains where there's less destruction (=lot's of land clearing along coast for construction and inland for farming, + (illegal) logging :-( )
today however saw my third Red Brocket Deer since coming 7years ago to C.R. -- and a female with two young ones for that
