Dist:0.4km<br/>Flattened rabbits and hedgehogs are common enough to be taken as a routine part of the road infrastructure, and in recent years dead foxes and badgers seem to be increasingly common in this area. However, a female Roe Deer (Capreolous capreolus) is unusual - more especially since there is a lot of eating on an animal this size and I'd expect it to be taken away fairly quickly. A farmer working nearby (who was interested in why I was taking photos) reckoned it had been killed the previous evening (perhaps twenty hours previously) and was one that had been in the area for about two years, and was quite capable of jumping fences and hedges to escape. Since her right hind leg has a right angle break, something must have just caught her behind before she could do so.

Dist:0.7km<br/>The Teesdale Way along the north side of the Tees runs along the edge of a terrace, some thirty metres above the river. Dropping down to the floodplain, the south bank lies deeply shaded, but this floodplain on the north is a sun trap, and very sheltered from the winds, as well as having the characteristic rich alluvial soil of such places. This has allowed these trees to grow taller than most of their neighbours.
