One of yesterday's young Kestrels decided to try its newly learned hunting skills on a Rabbit!
As you can imagine, nothing much else happened but it really upset the Rabbit!
This is cropped quite a bit...

Rabbit For Dinner?

The Purbeck Airshow
Two young Kestrels stayed airborne for hours today, with mum keeping an eye on them from afar!
They kept their distance, flying close to the towering cliffs, and bothering the local mouse population.
Secret Places
The beach is busy, which is always good! The streets and roads are looking busy too, which means a much needed injection of cash into our The Purbeck.
Even when we have plenty of visitors there are still places to go to get away from the crowds.

The Hunt Goes On
I have now decided that finding the Barn Owls after such a long time looking was the easy bit!
Taking shots of these incredible birds is not at all easy.
One of the big problems I find is that I enjoy watching them 'live' so much I don't want to ruin things by staying behind the view finder!
For this reason and for many, many others, I am still looking for 'The Shot'.

Strange things, Toads, but they obviously know something that we don't!
How else would you account for the constant smile?
I always enjoy stubbling across any of our reptiles and amphibians probably because they are so easy to overlook.
Thanks to Jeremy Aldana for the quote, by the way.

Sun And Showers
Although we have lost the cloudless blue skies and most days have the threat of rain, there are still a few chances to get out and about.
Summer Coats
At this time of year the Sika really are looking their best.
They are not difficult to find on The Purbeck and if you are lucky, you can get quite close.
