Wildlife on your course....

[ArnoldArmChewer]

The course I play with my dad in Kent has a family of white squirrels

Letchworth GC has a colony of black squirrels

 

[Russ_D]

We have canada geese and deer.
Temple Newsom also has a colony of "youths" on quad bikes! I think they are the comon variety though

 

[cliveb]

Plenty birds but couldn't tell what kind, little red things, yellow ones etc diff types of guinea fowl things (look a bit like dodo's)
This little burrowing weasel type creature is popular with plenty of them running about the place
Sand crabs a plenty
Giant fruit bats (if playing afternoon)
Deer
Version of a hedgehog
Assorted fish
Macaque monkeys
Stray dogs
Lizards & Gecko's

Slab - you're in Mauritius, yes?
My wife and I were playing there about 5 years ago at Chateau du Golf, and saw what we thought was a Mongoose crossing the fairway about 50 yards ahead.
Do you have those, or were we deluding ourselves?

At my last club, I once counted 11 different types of birds on the lake in front of the 3rd tee! And that didn't include the Swans, nor the 2 types of Geese - nor the Red Kites that nest half way down the 4th. Fallow Deer in a couple of places too!

 

[Hosel Fade]

Pheasants, millions of them, absolutely non perturbed by human presence.

Could probably go and pick one up then carry it to the oven if you wanted

 

[Crow]

Apparently we've got great crested newts, although nobody has seen them.
They have delayed work on the first hole for two or three years now though.

 

[power fade]

Deer, Hares, Pheasants, Curly beaked wee thing?, grouse and buzzards..to name but a few!

 

[Hendy]

My course has a few pheasants about and always a family or two of deer. Also there is a wee red squirrel floods about the front nine.

Seen the odd buzzard in the sky aswell

Can't wait for sponge to come on and trump the lot of us with Killer Whales

 

[Green Bay Hacker]

Damn badgers, loads of them. The young ones are a right pain when they decide to leave home and start to build a new one on/in our second, third and fifth greens.

 

[rosecott]

Just musing on the wildlife which might be seen on Forest Pines on 26/27 June.

 

[guest100718]

Several red kites swooping about

 

[Hobbit]

A couple of clubs back you could regularly see scroats in shell suits on bikes.

 

[HankMarvin]

We have a few deer running around & a few Auld Dears walking about, buzzards foxes red kite and few few Brafur

 

[ruff-driver]

Quite a lot of donkeys in our car park

 

[Sponge1980]

Can't wait for sponge to come on and trump the lot of us with Killer Whales

None this year so far but fingers crossed. Been a pod in the Caithness area so hopefully they'll come a bit further north.

Yeah its a mongoose (for some reason I keep calling it a weasel)

Most of the coastal courses have them and it'd be unusual not see one during a round

 

[Marshy77]

Played Keighley the other week and 4 young deers (fawns possibly) ran across the course, tried to take a pic but they were gone quick as a flash.

 

[dan2844]

We have alot of birdies, a few eagles and once in a blue moon an albatross.
but more seriously ive actually seen an adder twice in the long grass between our 7th and 14th. ive just had a read up on them and it says its rare to see them in the midlands and on clay soil... both of which our course is set in/on. so now, im thinking it could have been a grass snake but at the time and unitl just now ive always thought it was an adder. apart from that we see all the usual. when i had my first stint at the club 3 or 4 years back there used to be swans in our 18th lake, but i haven't seen them so far this year.
