Posted: 05 Jun 2008 Hi Tim Rob I stayed over for three days didnt see the osprey but I am sure that I see 2 pair of harriers .the sand lizard sighting was a disaster I only see one tatty small male who would not oblige a pic . All I can say is that most of the spots in Studland have been lost to constant recreational use of the areas I know there are still the exceptions of colonies but on the whole they have completly dissapeared from the grassy dunes near the ferry end also so have the adders that once upon a time about every gorse bush contained one and common lizards and sloworms that were abundant have dissapeared or perhaps the birds of prey have taken them keith ps did see a natrix LOCAL ICYNICAL CELTIC ECO WARRIOR AND FAILED DRUID |
