@Jonny721
"surely Bar-headed Goose can't count so 146 actually"
I couldn't agree more, and it was me that saw them, I only include them for completeness, and noted them as escapes.

We've had this discussion before ...

Personally I don't count humans as wild animals for mammal listing purposes - even if some of them are reasonably feral.

 

[Swindon Addick]

I saw a grey seal, so if we were doing a UK mammal list, including those that Farnboro John reported, it would read:

common seal
grey seal
fallow deer
roe deer
grey squirrel
brown rat
bottlenose dolphin.

 

[Gander]

I got Human, Grey Squirrel, Brown Rat. So that's 4 mammals total of what's been posted :t:

I can add Red Squirrel.

[Fiscalshrike]

Last 2 for me - Rock Dove(Feral Pigeon) and American Crow.
