While i was hiking/climbing in the states last year i saw Brown bears, Gray Wolves, bobcats, Mule deer, White tailed deer, Wapiti, Cyotes, Chipmunks, skunks, Bald Eagles, Kingsnake, Bighorn Sheep, Chuckwalla, Burro's, Jackrabbits, Sea lions and much more i can't recollect at the moment.

It is truly a beautiful country once you get off the beaten track, so abundant with wild life and the diversity of the landscape is awe inspiring.

It was a trip of a life time flew into mombassa in kenya for two weeks R &R.. Spent a few days on beach then we hit the national parks. We covered some of tsavo east and west national park, they are the biggest in kenya.Seen everything from the big five to the biggest spiders iv ever seen. The rainy season had just finished so everthing was green.. We had the pleasure of seen the aftermath of a lion kill, i dont how to describe it was unbelieveable. When you watch nature programs on the tv you can hear and see, but what you miss out on is the smell of the kill. We could nearly smell the lion kill from about half a mile away. We spent a few nights in the shimba hills as well which is quite spectacular. Its set up in the rain forest, we stayed in the biggest tree house iv ever seen.. Its well freaky when you hear leapords growling in the middle of the night..Our only let down was our camera at the time it was just a basic 35 mm with no zoom, but we still got some great pictures.
Would highly recommend it for anyone looking for a great holiday.. It did not break the bank either:D:D

Saw a fox and a badger, in Milltown, less than 2 miles from Dublin city center.

It wasn't me!

Seeing a lot of pheasants and deer lately between my place and Rathdrum. To be entirely fair, the route consists of the Wicklow Gap and the Clara Vale, so it's kinda to be expected.

Driving home from Dublin to Trim there is a fantastic black cock pheasant on the same ditch nearly every evening. He's an absolute beauty:)
