see how Nature mocks me

[anuran]

Good grief, I spent three and a bit hours stomping about Simonside Forest and Lordenshaws moor, seeing nowt except prehistoric rock carvings and iron-age hillforts, and then driving back, what do I see?

1. A fallow deer, blinking at me stupidly on the road before bolting into the woods
2. Two Buzzards, not far above my car, having a fight.

All of Britain's nature is in fact living on road verges.
