Also lots of squirrel, chipmunks things.

Ground squirrels? Very cool, had them eating out my hand.

[JamieG]

Also saw desert tortoise, which I was not expecting.

Was out on bike the other night and spotted a barn owl just sitting in the road. stopped and watched him for a while, managed to get a few terrible photos with my phone and then he flew off making nary a sound.

Saw a buzzard getting heckled by crows. Nothing unusual in this you might think, until I tell you it was above Prescot Road, 2 miles out from Liverpool city centre. Properly in da hood...!!

[SA Chris]

Was the buzzard's material any good, or did he deserve it?

[fatneck]

Ha! I wasn't close enough to tell but the crows were quite rowdy so I suspect his material was indeed suspect and he deserved all he got...

Ah yes, I also meant to thank you for posting those but I looked at them at 6am and could barely work my phone. Great pics!

[SA Chris]

Yeah, amazing stuff.

[andy_e]

[andy_e]

Was it you we passed on our way to the car then?

I guess it was! Thanks for the tip off! Always wanted to feed a bird from my hand! Cake and peanuts, no wonder he was hustling everyone!

[SA Chris]

wanted to feed a bird from my hand!

There's a joke there about feeding ponies.

[rodma]

Awesome.

Saw a murmuration from the office Window on Monday. I've never seen one in Scotland before this. At first I thought it was just pigeons being blown around by the storm

That's awesome. It must be a right laugh for the birds

[lagerstarfish]

just seen a coypu in the duck pond by the big supermarket in Milly

the kids didn't believe what I was showing them until it got out of the water

[SpanishJuan]

There were a few of them about in that pond, some young ones as well when I was last about

[SA Chris]

Apparently it's not advisable to stand directly underneath them though. Especially with expensive camera gear.

Barn owl at Curbar/Baslow last night.

[Eddies]

I saw a barn owl whilst driving back from Newstones Thursday night. It took off from a fence post just past Gib Tor and wafted along level with my car for a good thirty seconds... Made my evening
