I suspect this could be a long thread.
My first such encounter happened on the way to Duddo five stones,
The footpath to the circle was a bit unused so my wife and two year old son turned back to the car whilst I carried on with my four year old daughter on my shoulders.
Taking it slowly over a stile we quietly entered a field full of some foul kind of crop that aloud no egress through it, we just started the walk round the edge of the field when a female red deer jumped up only ten yards or so away from us, it made us both jump and we just stared at it as it bound through the infernal crop at least six feet high with every jump.
My daughter still remembers it now.

Since then I saw a common lizard at Mulfra quoit, boxing hares at Avebury,
a Golden eagle at the old man of storr, really close to a red kite at Nant tarw, a grass snake at a taula in menorca, and a brief encounter with a fox at a cave in the peak district.
