Most people know the names of many of our british birds,
if you are lucky you see them in your own gardens.
So why when you are having a cuppa in your caravan do
strange unknown birds appear, why don't you know what
they are?
Often at night you will hear strange calls, is it a bird, a mammal,
or the people coming back from the pub late?
Are you even aware of the wildlife around you? well this is a
shameless plug for http://www.wildaboutbritain.co.uk/forums/

Badgers and Deer are the ones to take note of, I had a near miss with a badger
and my workmate from Keynsham (who usually shares cars with me) was
following a few minutes behind hit it, his car was written off.
Another lad coming from the Blagdon direction hit a deer the size of a labrador,
again his car was totalled.

Sound like you could have ticked off a lot of pages in the penguin I Spy road kill book......
