Saw deer in Glendalough a couple of weeks ago. Not particularly unusual in itself, but this time there were loads of them! I lost count in the high forties. Forced down from the high ground due to all the snow no doubt. Made walking out really creepy, lots of funny noises and dozens of pairs of eyes shining back at me out of the dark!
Nice pic.Yeah, they're always around. Along with the goats who seem to take particular pleasure in stealing my lunch (and shitting under problems)! Lots of deer in Glenmacnass too. They have a habit of bursting unexpectedly from the woods when you walk by. Can be quite startling!
OK, one last time. These are small... but the ones out there are far away. Small... far away... ah forget it!
Red Kites may be ten-a-penny near almscliff and caley but they're still beautiful birds all the same! You know it's gonna be a good day at the crag when you see one.
A large male (at least Adam tells me it's a male) Adder at Curbar, taking in some rays beside the top path, a couple of weeks back.
Rather disappointed I opted not to use the £$$$$$ of camera gear in my rucksack. Idiot.

I saw a fox on marlborough road the other day. had to go back and finish it off with a jack.
forgot to say that fox i saw in bromhill was at about 12 noon, which was the surprising factor.
There's foxes pretty much everywhere, whether in town or out - I see bucketloads of them driving at night. A work colleague of Ms Bubbs saw one on the top floor of a multi-storey car park the other day. They just don't give a shit.
See quite a few deer too, but they're mainly those little Muntjac deer. Seen one mid-morning happily nibbling grass ten feet from the A1.
