Whats your most unusual British Sighting?

[coasty]

Reading another thread about wolves reminded me of the time when I was a teenager I was fishing on Scarborough Marine Drive late at night when a Adult timber wolf walked past on the opposite side of the road.. Must admit to some nervousness at the encounter, Sadly it was shot the following morning. It had escaped from the local zoo. I wondered what your most unusual sighting in Britain had been....

Mine would be one of the Wallabys living wild around the Loch Lomond area....that was before the wild population became widely known about. Me and a mate thought we were seeing things at first

Probably a mating pair of garter snakes in a country park in Kent.

I saw a hoopoe in Towcester a few years ago..It flew off with these massive black and white wings that fluttered like a large moth..Wired but wonderful

Probaly the canary i saw flying at break neck speed and then smashing into and bouncing off a window....which was then swiftly caught by the kestrel (that I hadn't noticed) that was chasing it. One of those 'did I just see that!? moments

the pelican down at brantham a few years ago was rather unusual it stayed for ages and in the end it was taken for granted it would just be there or i once saw corn sake in my next doors garden we caught it and kept it for a couple of years

Seeing a Crimson Rosella in local country park looking totally at home!

An escaped European Eagle Owl, that spent a few weeks in my sixth form college grounds, about sixteen years ago. What a beast.
