Chrissakes, be careful on the Greenway. People getting attacked, and not by deer...

People get attacked on the Greenway? By other people or something else?

By people, unfortunately...

That sucks! Although I’ve been walking there for over a year and nothing so far thank goodness.

Those are really nice. What kind of deer are they, Chakan? White-tailed deer or mule deer? You're in one of the Carolina's, aren't you?

I believe they were white tailed deer. Yeah I’m in the North Carolina.

We get deer in our backyard sometime although seeing deer on the greenway has been pretty rare, just because of the amount of people that frequent the place.

Thought so from my extensive experience of hunting in RDR2

My autistic son has had really tough year in 2023. I had to give up my job to become his transport assistant to get him to and from school. The big plus, apart from the fact he prefers going to school with me, is that his commute takes us through Richmond Park in SW London. 750 deer, both Red and Fallow.  I've seen stags jousting. The Red Deer especially can look magnificent at this time of year.

They're pretty common here, although we do get mule deer every now and again.

Sorry to hear he's had a tough year! But at least he gets to see some cool deer with his dad! Hope 2024 is better.

We have a family of voles nesting near the patio so it's been fascinating watching all afternoon 🥰

You sure it’s not a Siberian Hamster?

They're definitely not no 😂

I wished I had a proper camera instead of my phone to get a picture of this.

When I collected all the feeders to fill them this morning, the lid was up on the one we have with a protective cage round for the small birds so I filled it and made sure it was firmly down before hanging it up again.

We've now got a red squirrel that's opened the lid, going in head first bringing out seeds whilst clinging to the bush above with it's back feet 😂😂😂

Squirrel proof my arse!!!

Back over in Northern Ireland. Sat having a pint of Guinness last night overlooking the beach and about 15m from the shore were 5 or 6 dolphins splashing around. Brilliant sight.
