gordon s Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 Having a pond in our back garden means we are a constant target for herons. Thankfully we are pretty bulletproof in protecting the fish, but that doesn't stop them trying. This one was on top of our neighbours roof for around 20 minutes this morning trying to work out how he could get his breakfast.... Eventually he won the 'staring out' game, so I opened the window and off he went. Just a shame he went away from the camera.... No doubt he or one of his mates will be back for another try... 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
peanuts Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 I haven't hit a deer while driving, but that isn't for lack of trying (on their part). We did nerf one with the rally car I was codriving, but there was no damage on either side.The closest I came while driving was abut 2 ft, braking hard as deer #1 ran across in front of me followed by looking in the mirror to see deer #2 run across behind me. On the way back from the cottage last weekend I pulled over to move a turtle out of the road. Fortunately it was just a small painted turtle rather than a snapper - they can get quite aggressive if they've been sunning themselves all day (guess how I know that...). Adrian had the misfortune to smack one full on whilst co driving on the cheviots in the eightys made a right mess of the front of our sd1 as we were flat in fifth at the time ! did get some nice stakes of the sqaudies who helped us get going again after spinning off in shock Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold beast66606 Posted August 5, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 5, 2012 This fella was wandering through the fields and got to the fence, I was on the other side of the railway, he hadn't noticed me, he glanced away and I grabbed my camera and took this when he looked back ! A male roe deer I think. He was off, with a final indignant glare 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JZ Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 These little fellows at Sumburgh Head the other day. About 15' from the ones in the first shot and about 10' from the second. When we walked down from the lighthouse there was one standing on a wall and JZjr got within about 3' to get a picture. 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold SHMD Posted August 15, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 15, 2012 I caught this chap in the middle of executing his latest cunning plan.

DDolfelin Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 An unexpected lunch companion on La Gomera. A vicious Welsh Sheep. Not exactly wildlife but the litteraly part is correct: Hard to see these in the undergrowth in Crete: Taken on the vast grassy plains of West Wales (well, in a field): 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
