If there is one sporting event that I look forward to most of all it’s the Greyhound Derby at Wimbledon. Sadly we won't be able to witness the mighty Westmead Hawk at Wimbledon this year. He is surely the greatest tracker ever. I saw him at Monmore recently and whilst it was another great honour to see the dog (I even got a pat) he didn't seem the same dog. I'm sure he will enjoy his retirement at Stud with the Dunphys. We all were all privileged to see such a wonderful dog. I’ll always remember when he came out on parade for last years Final. I'm sure he winked at the crowd and was says "Right lads, now watch this. I have posted the video of my favourite ever race of the Hawks. Ignore the first second its just how the clip has been edited.
Whilst always having an interest in birding from a young age never really found my way to develop into serious hobby until recent years. Local patch is Salford Priors Gravel Pits; also enjoy Upton Warren in Worcestershire, Spurn, Northumberland, the Scillies and Slimbridge.
