Wareham Forest

Claire is doing a lot of jogging lately in training for a charity run, and the boys don't need asking twice to go for a bike ride, so we hit Wareham Forest today where the wide open tracks are good for both. And sand lizards. This small one was basking just off the track. We saw a large, bright green male later but it moved too fast to photograph. Butterflies were also on the wing - Orange Tip, Brimstone, Speckled Wood and Small Copper the most noticeable.

Buzzard - carrying a small snake or maybe a slow worm?
