Following the snottiest cold on record I had my first run out this morning in the autumn sunshine accompanied at various stages by the above assortment - sadly all faster than me!

Four deer, a buzzard, two rabbits and a skein of wild geese!

Curiously, if you replace the buzzard with a brace of pheasant, and define 'skein' as 'three', that is exactly what I have hanging on my patio and in the game cupboard. These were not fast enough for me.
Congratulations on getting out there after being ill sounds like you had a lot of company aswell! X

But you were out there! Autumn can be a good season for running, provided the colds etc stay away.

A skein of geese! What a lovely phrase!
And Rig, I'm envious of the pheasants - Delia's coq au vin recipe is a showstopper if you replace the coq with pheasant. With lots of steamed kale to get all gravy-sodden, and (if you're not being all paleo-virtuous) a gurt pile of creamy mashed potatoes. Heaven.

Allow yourself a few runs to feel strong after being unwell! Great bit of wildlife spotting though, such a lovely thing to run with nature (as opposed to driving past it iykwim! I was given some seriously shifty looks by a field of sheep the other day🐑🐑🐑!

Beautiful Ully. Hope the cold is gone - impossible to run with a snotty nose.
