I couldn't find a thread for "other wildlife" the sort that isn't a plant/bug/spider/bridge.

I've been asked a few times by the mildly sceptical whether or not I took this holiday snap. I have admit that no, I didn't - it was Kathy, and he was just sat by the side of the road...

Thanks for posting Tim. Great pic of an incredibly weird and specialised creature.
Certainly never seen cycling south of Sussex

And he's still not been 'shopped to wield a pipe?

That's a lot of prime steak ambling around there. It won't require much more, but just a smidge less rare would be nice1.

I would question the need for the binoculars for spotting the little fella when he is is sat upon your lap. And it looks about as wild as this set:
