I forgot to include this in my ride report last week, but on Tuesday, whilst descending in the Black Isle towards Fortrose, I was travelling at about 25 - 30 mph when what I'm reasonably sure was a vole shot out from my left and I think it went between my wheels. I hope I missed it - I certainly didn't feel anything - and simultaneously there was a great disturbance to my left and a red deer doe suddenly set off, travelling at about the same speed as I was. I once saw one of these buggers leap clean over a fence which must have been about 6' high so even though there was a hedge between us, I braked sharply so as to avoid any chance of the deer trying to emulate the vole.
