Just a couple of miles up the hill from here, I occasionally see
a peacock. First time I saw him, he was sitting on a gatepost
displaying his full glory to anyone who happened to be passing
(being a country lane, that was just me at the time).

Makes a change from sheep, ponies and pheasants.

There used to be some llamas near Guiseley. They gve me quite a turn the
first time I encountered them.

I remember a llama just off Rawdon crossroads, on the Leeds side. Just the
one. I wonder if they were related.

[censored], those are agile sheep and ponies. Or maybe just very big

There was a piece on Look North last night about a deer that was fished
out of the Leeds-Liverpool, near Leeds City Station. Must be something
in the water...

Had it fallen off a gatepost?

Might have been a doe, or a deer.

Or a ray of golden sun :-)

Is that why it fell in the water? Was it moving?
