I was coming home late from the pub some weeks back and I am sure I saw a herd of Wildebeest in the field. Black & white jobs........ Could have been mistaken I suppose.....

Apart from the usual dogs, cats and birds, I usually see black squirrels, raccoons, and beavers on a daily basis, and now summer is approaching, the chipmunks have started to appear. If I'm lucky I might also spot an Opossum or Skunk as well

I saw a beaver today. I was so glad I took the long route through the student area 
Sunshine + students = very, VERY short skirts 
Also saw lambs, cows, horses, pheasants, voles, rabbits etc etc etc as I took the opportunity of the nice weather to do my Yorkshire Dales lesson
which my learners benefit from greatly 
actually, they really do progress greatly in anticipation and planning following a countryside run

Ther's a lovely Heron I often see cycling along the canal towpath. and a couple of terrapins who've grown larger than a tortoise that I've seen basking in the sun on a number of occasions in the summer. Got a pic of one of them somewhere...
