Blimey. A brave dog to be taking on a Hawk. Must be getting excited about spring on its way

I may have got it wrong but I read Rob's note that his Westie caught a pigeon.

Around the time this came out, my sister worked in a childrens home called Turnstone.
Happy days.
I think the Westie's name is Muttley : )

A dastardly claim.

I've seen one hunting a couple of times recently over Avon Causeway area- near the New Queen pub. Used to see them only around the A34 corridor

Used to have a couple near where I worked, just off the M27.

Alligators everywhere, turtles, tortoises, terrapins, snakes and as for the bird life the number of species is staggering. South west Florida state parks and wildlife reserves (often free to visit and very few people about), not a theme park in sight. Hope to see manatees in the next day or so. Gas $3.69 a US gallon. Give the boys a shout for me tomorrow.

Some great spots if you can get down to the Keys. 7-mile bridge sunsets are amazing, nice mix of towns, beaches and backcountry, great food, and Key West is a world of its own.
Happy travels.

Just bumping the Wildlife thread. Spring is springing in Dorset! Saw our first butterflies today- a Brimstone, a Peacock and a Red Admiral. Still waiting for the Wheaters to turn up at Stanpit but a trip out near Avon Causeway this morning gave us five or six Brown Hares frolicking and two Red Kite hunting overhead- a spectacular sight.

Friday night football allows for a nice Saturday lunchtime stroll down Portman zig-zag to the prom, then back through Fishermans Walk.
En route, an Angle Shades moth and a common lizard. They definitely are common, we photoed 5 posing/basking and two ran away.

My favourite shot from Paynes Prairie during my trip to Florida. Reminds me I need a dentist appointment. A surprise at the same place was Bison, reintroduced to Florida in the 70's. Also a few piles of bear poo but not the perpetrator, but yes bears do sh't in the woods.

That's a shame to read about the death of the female only the Eastern side of Little Sea. I've been out looking for the pair who've made a home on the West Side a couple of times (there's a Musical in there somewhere) - not found them but did find some of their handy work
