I've just returned to town after catching an early bus and going for a walk in the countryside; early morning is my favourite part of the day; especially when the sun is illuminating the Pennines to the west.

Although not specifically on the lookout for wildlife I did spot two grey squirrels [I've never seen a native red squirrel though], a rabbit, two partridges at close quarters...and the longest slug I've ever seen [about 5 ins.]
