Not sure if you can see Shepreth Wildlife Park's Tiger enclosure on the way past.
Once saw a club(?) of seals on a beach south of Helmsdale.
There's nothing unusual about the appearance of the many rabbits on the Wensleydale Railway, but they do seem fond of sitting on the rails until the train is about a foot away.
I believed you up until this....actually strike up a conversation with a stranger about the spectacle.

Probably been mentioned but theres Red Kites to be seen around the Risborough area
Yes forgot about the Hayes deer. Its a strange minature breed and I've seen it twice between West Wickham & Hayes.
After years of browsing this forum I've finally signed up. Probably the rarest animal I've seen from a train is a Purple Heron on Doxey Marshes, just north of Stafford station.
Red Kites are some of the most remarkable wildlife expansions (albeit after reintroduction) of recent years - they are now up to almost Middle-Ages levels in the Chilterns and surrounding wide area. We are seeing more and more in Surrey too.
There are often ospreys nesting on a phone mast across from the power station near falls of Cruachan station on the Oban line. It's been reported that pine martins frequent the bird tables at the nearby visitor centre, though I haven't actually seen one from the train, yet.

Last week there was a dead otter (decapitated) on the up fast at Acton Bridge, Cheshire.

I once saw a train when walking alongside some seals on the beach between Brora and Helmsdale .
Yeah, that stretch is great for seals (and seabirds).Certainly the coastal stretch of the Far North Line around Brora is great for seals.
There are alpacas near Embleton in the Lake District; I wonder if there are any currently open rail lines where you can see them?
Yesterday afternoon I saw a snow-white squirrel standing one of the running lines just north of Haywards Heath p4 - then jumping off - never seen one of those before.
(The 700's PA was doing "the next station is-iszzzzz-iiizzzzzz-iizzzzz-zzz Three Bridges" - which added a slightly hallucinatory touch.)
Not all the time, but I have frequently seen foxes between Malton and York.

Saw a Purple Moose at Porthmadog once before!
(Have a think!)
