I drive to work, but think myself very lucky to see Red Deer, Buzzards and Red Squirrels. I saw a Grey Squirrel this morning, which makes me worry about the native Red population here. Luckily it had been hit by another car and killed.

Do goths count as wildlife?

Wild? they were livid!

3 Red Kites, 4 Buzzards on the way home last night. Innumerable crows
mobbing both.

Oh, and 1 large moist dog egg left mid singletrack. Luckily it doesn't stick to the tread of a semi grip tyre and showered me instead 👿

In the FoD I see loads of deer and buzzards and ting, you know, all dead close up and that. There are even wild boar in there, but I've yet to see any myself, like. Saw a mole being mobbed by a load of sparrows last week on my ride in along the river.

Fox has been spotted once and loads of rabbit. There is the odd kestrel over some of the scrubland, but my commute used to take me a long the beach ( I live at the end of it) and sometimes the dolphins would be jumping at the mouth of the harbour. 😀 that fairly brightens up your day.

Most of these have already been listed, but on my commute/local rides I've notched up:

Loads of frogs
Swans
Ducks
Foxes
Rabbits
Deer
Herons
A couple of Owls (especially cool the time I was at the front of the group and it just swooped down and flew in front of me for a few metres)
Cats up trees
Bats (no one else has mentioned bats yet! Woo!)

Um, I think that's all! I do like my local rides and my scenic route to work! 🙂

Oh – and the odd Kestrel

On one lucky commute I saw:
Green Woodpecker
Small Deer/Muntjack
Hare
Foxes
Squirrels
Rabbits
Falcon/Kestrel.

Popped round to see a friend at work (North Bristol Suburbs) and saw in the wild (not including the usual suspects):

Deer
Kestrel
Buzzard
Yellowhammer
Goldfinch
Swift's
Canada Geese (flying)
Ducks (flying)
Pheasants
Partridges
& a few more I can't remember

I took a photo of the Kestrel & the Deer with my phone through a set of binoculars, not a very good photo tho.

My favourite sight is the Kingfisher that tends to race me along the Maun. You can't beat the flash of iridescent blue as it flies along.
