One of the wonderful things about night cycling [1] is you get to see wildlife you'd never thought possible. Rabbits and foxes are commonplace as is the occasional bat. We've spotted a field mouse on one FNRttC. I've even seen a couple of badgers - live ones! - as opposed to the sad bundles of fur lying at the side of the road.
But tonight was something special. Cycling round Clent rather latish when I spied something casually grazing at the side of the road. Too big to be a dog but too small to be a cow and not woolly enough to be a sheep. It couldn't a a deer, could it? Don't be silly, I told myself, just as it looked up at me - or rather - as he looked at me, for he had a magnificent set of antlers. I'd never have guessed it, not here a mere three miles from the centre of Halesowen. Wonderful.
[1] Quite apart from experiencing an entirely different, marvelous, surreal world of clear stars, spooky lanes, eldritch avenues and an awesome stillness merely the thickness of a pair of curtains away from normality - which you have entirely to yourself!
