Good Morning All.

There are a few threads going around about Lynx, Bears, Boars etc. Not that I saw any of them. I did, however, happen upon a Monster:

View media item 3197
I'm sure it's mother loves it! It is, in fact, a European Mole Cricket (I kid you not!), was about 3-4 cm long and was heading towards Fatima (well, it was going the other way on the Portuguese).

Did even know they existed.

The one from Galicia (the round) and the one from Castilla & Leon. Individually numbered and made by the same people that make the ones you see on your walk.
I saw lots of dogs, cats, and little lizards on the Camino.

Also saw this fellow coming out of Valcarlos. It's really hard to see, but I believe it's some sort of mountain goat.



Sorry for the poor quality, but it was really far away and that's as zoomed in as I could get.
