Wow, that was some question, well done to SCC

 

[Dawsie]

If by any chance SCC doesn’t want the roe stalk can we roll it over to the next round?

 

[SCC]

Well done sir .

Fantastic. Very kind of you.
I'm relatively new to stalking so the experience of a stalk in another part of the UK would be great.

ATB,
Craig

Dawsie you got 1 and 4
Killiecrankie is in Scotland. Scottish Crossbill is endemic to the Caledonian forests too ...but its not silly ...just cross lol.

Levigsp you got 2,3 and 4
Far as i know there are 8 waters in the Lake District holding Char ...close, but its not Char

Both think again re the butterfly. Hint, its one of the earliest to emerge in the spring. Monarch is a rare immigrant to the Uk and i was thinking more UK native.
