I enjoyed this goal so much I got into the habit of writting down all the exciting/interesting animals I see. I get much satisfaction from my “fauna log” :)

Some weeks ago I was sitting outside in the dark with friends and we heard this calling, totally new to me! According to them it was a tawny owl, how exciting. I went looking for a picture of it later :)
Yesterday the neighbour’s cat was playing with a dead snake in my garden.
Earlier this year in Portugal I saw a peacock showing off to loads of peahens (or female peacocks, not sure what is the correct form). First time I saw the whole peacock dance display, it was very interesting. The females are so colourful too. They were all in wildflower meadow, it was magical :)
Yesterday while cycling I saw a different bird, how exciting! It was yellowish-green and it went past flying and making some sounds. Later at home I checked my book on birds and my “british sound library” CD. I’m almost certain it was a greenfinch :)
According to a friend, the deers I saw last month were probably muntjacs.
Last week in France a saw a grey heron by a petrol station near Marquenterre + two isards when hiking in the mountains + some small lizards basking in the sun :)
I’m changing this goal from “see puffins in the wild” to “see some fauna” since puffins are not the only animals I’d love to see out and about. I hope never to meet a boa constrictor or a lion face to face, I’m thinking of non- frightening animals such as birds and small mammals like the marmots and isards I saw last year while hiking in the south of France.
The other day I was cycling and saw some deers. Great I feel I’m making progress with this goal already:)
