Tiny Forest Visitor 🦌💜

Following on from our Skool call last night, I promised I would share the little video clip my hubby captured on his drive home last night. We live in a tiny place called Far Forest here in the UK. Our home is tucked away at the end of a single track lane which only leads to 4 properties, and we’re incredibly lucky to have around 4 acres of land — about 3 acres of that being woodland/forest.

One of the things we absolutely love about living here is the wildlife. We regularly hear muntjac deer calling to each other (if you’ve never heard them before… they honestly sound slightly terrifying 😂 like a strange screaming bark in the woods!).

We often spot them on our security cameras, especially at night, but yesterday evening Mark was incredibly lucky. Just as the light was fading after a rain shower, a mother muntjac crossed in front of the car… and then her tiny baby followed behind 🥹 Honestly, we have NEVER seen one so young before. It looked the size of a little rabbit. Absolutely precious.

It made me think again about our conversation on the call about wildlife and how “normal” animals for one country can sound so exotic and fascinating to someone else. Yes majority of us were freaked out at Nat from @Mudmagics spider bite and would not be able to sleep at night!

So now I’m curious…What animals, birds, insects or reptiles do you regularly see where you live that feel completely normal to you — but might seem unusual or exotic to the rest of us? 😊
