The Speedster
Mum's companion.
Above: Speedy is always inquisitive when it comes to new smells! I expect he was quite disappointed to find out the camera lens wasn't to be consumed!
Above: Speedy is assuming position no. 1, relaxation. For information (no.1 being position most assumed):
Position no. 2 = please take me for a walk (i.e. following you around everywhere & being nosy every time you get up to do anything).
Position no. 3 = is that food for me? (i.e. every time you go into the kitchen or rustle paper or eat).
Position no.4 = Walking & smelling & marking territory (position assumed when actually out for a walk).
Position no.5 = Hello, please give me a hug and some attention & thank you for visiting me (saved for visitors).
Position no.6 = Crazy & energised. This position can be assumed in the time it takes to click your fingers. Usually followed by position no. 1 immediately after stopping the craziness!
Position no.7 = I'm jealous of you two hugging each other - I think I will get in on the act! Don't you dare leave me out!
There are several versions of each position, but these are the basics.

Otmoor Nature Reserve 26/07/08
While my Dad was in Italy, I had his car & on Saturday 26/07/08 I went back to Gloucester for a 'quick visit.' I have been planning for a while to stop of at Otmoor Nature Reserve (nr Oxford) with my dad & this was a 'recce'. It was a really nice place - well worth a visit (despite the intense heat). The first bird I saw was only my second ever turtle dove. I heard it 'purring' as soon as I stepped out of the car. Later on I saw my 3rd ever Turtle Dove (see photo below). The other main highlight was a Brown Hare (see photo below) that sat just 3 metres from me!
Above: A great spotted woodpecker at a feeding station.
Above: One of my favourite birds, a common tern (no rings on it)

Above: You can just about tell that this is a turtle dove and not a collared dove! I'm surprised the photo is this good as it was at it's zoom limit.
Above: A relaxed Speedy (my mum's Whippet).
