This is a great shot of one of Purbeck’s rarer beasties we occasionally see while out on our safaris!🪳…

A ferocious predator is prowling our heaths…

The heath tiger beetle is one of our rarest insects, only found in small areas of southern England. They are dark brown with cream stripes and splashes of iridescent colour. They thrive on Purbeck’s heaths and dunes, building their nests in bare, sandy areas. Like their mammalian namesakes, they are built for deadly pursuit.

Look closely and you can see:

• Large eyes to spot their prey (smaller insects).
• Razor-sharp mandibles to dismember other creatures.
• Long legs for lightning-fast speed.
• An ant in its jaws!

The larvae are just as formidable, spending two years hiding in sandy burrows waiting to ambush passing insects.

Wedding Safari!!!

A couple of weeks ago we were invited to do a safari with a difference when we took a wedding party to the Church!

It was a great way for the bride and Groom to travel overland to get there!

We were spotted up on East Hill overlooking Corfe Castle while out on safari the other day and the photographer kindly sent us the photos 📷 We think they’re fantastic! Why not make the most of this sunny weather and come and explore this beautiful landscape on your own Purbeck Safari? 🌳☀️🐦‍⬛
