HEAT and dust must have made the performing camels feel at home in the sandy arena at Little Durnford on Sunday afternoon.

And the fisherman casting his fly into the River Avon 50m away must have thought he was hallucinating.

The camels, Rani and Timbo, were giving a display of training and obedience with their owner Frank Bock, of Bavaria, at an event organised by the Countess of Chichester, in aid of Canine Partners for Independence.

The event raised more than £3,800.
