Has the Covid-19 lockdown got you climbing the walls yet?
You can entertain yourself with this trailcam from Algonquin Park, Canada. Looks like my annual spring Brook Trout trip in Algonquin is not going to happen, thanks to this virus.
Stay healthy!
A huge array of animals are featured.

Thanks for posting Ray, an amazing range of beautiful creatures. But if I was fishing with you I'm not sure that I would be watching my fly too carefully if I knew there were black bears in the woods... Fortunately the scariest thing we have to worry about in Devon are the mythical 'Beasts' of Dartmoor and Exmoor (never convincingly proven, but reputed to be escaped panthers etc.!). Good luck and health to all State-side. Johnny

Johnny don’t be too sure these beasts are mythical. Your next trip up the east dart as darkness falls you may wonder what caused that twig to snap.😄
Let’s hope that trip will be soon.
Stay safe,
Terry

Ha ha Terry, funnily enough, the worst thing that ever happened to me on the Moor at night was after a sea-trout excursion on the West Dart. I was alone, and heading back to my car at about 2 in the morning. I began to think that I could hear steps behind me, but they stopped whenever I paused to listen. It seemed so unlikely, so I reckoned I must be imagining it: just a funny trick of the night or something. Even so, I started to walk a bit more quickly, and then even faster. I made it back to the parking place and got into the car rather breathlessly, quickly closing the door. Whew, made it. But then I looked out of my window to see a face peering at me from the darkness: AAAAAAARRRRGGGHHHH! A bloody Dartmoor pony!! I aged a lot that night.
