I haven't seen much wildlife where I live now, apart from a magpie that roosts outside my window, and starlings.
There is a small population of peregrine falcons that lives in the city centre though.
There are lots of birds and animals where I grew up - rabbits, lots of species of duck, stoats, polecats, muntjac and fallow deer, and bats.
Forgot the red fox. :dozey:
tourists. :p :
But Veeten, tourists are an introduced species, not native. :p :
I also forgot Opposum, weasel (4 legged), otter and mink.
Bear within 5 km of where I sit in South Seattle, deer, elk, marmots, salmon, puma or mountain lion or cougar, eagles, and just a little ways away in the mountains there are jackalopes

And in the high alpine streams and frozen lakes there are the seldom seen fur-bearing trout:

But alas no donkeys!
Jon Browns. It is believed that they are the missing link between Human's and the great apes!

open smile, have you been paid this morning? Happy weekend :)
On the major roads around our place, lots of dead kangaroos! It would be nice if the local gov department collected the carcases and disposed of them rather than leaving them to rot and be eaten by foxes and the like. Tis a really bad smell in hot weather! If you hit one and it is dead you are meant to check to see if it is a female and see if it has any joeys in the pouch and call the local wildlife people.
