Powys Castle....

Ok, so I know they're not wild but with a bit of patients here, there could be some great photo opportunities.

Weasel @ Welshpool

One seen this morning along the canal by Buttington Cross (bridge 115).

Hare @ Carmel

At least 3 (one of them appeared to be a runt?!) seen in one of the fields below Y Glonc hill this evening, also 1 Fox.

Hedgehog @ Newtown

(via Char Burrows) One rescued/helped off the road in Park Lane this morning.

Polecat @ New Mills

Cant remember the exact date, but I saw one just outside New Mills on the Llanfair road towards the end of August - beginning of September. Only just remembered about it sorry, sadly what jogged my memory was seeing another dead one on the road today!
That's 4 now in the matter of a couple of weeks, 1 in New Mills, 1 in Belan and 2 on the bypass by Coed-y-Dinas!!

Polecat @ Highgate

(via Char Burrows) one seen crossing the road around 06:30 this morning.

Deer rut

We are now well into deer rutting season, so now is the perfect time to keep your ears open for the territorial call of the stags. Both Red Deer and Fallow Deer stags vocalise, but they sound different, so get your ear in and you can identify them from call alone.  

Deer parks, like the one at Powis Castle, are worth a visit before you head out into the wider countryside. You can often get quite close to the deer and therefore easily see which species is making the noise!
