A Squizzer And A Mug Of Tea.

[ArchieHood 3,692]

I decided to pop out for a couple of hours this afternoon,a few rats had been seen around the calf pens so a visit was immanent.I had a few hours to kill before the light dropped so I did a detour and visited a small wood that often holds a few pigeons and squirrels.I got set up and walked across the field to the edge of the wood and immediately saw 2 squirrels heading for cover.Once I had made the headland I must of seen another half dozen making their way through the branches, I followed 3 of them through the scope waiting for a shot only to be thwarted by their acrobatics and their reluctance to pause,even a whistle couldn't get them to stand static.Time ticked by without a glimpse when I heard the distinctive chatter of a lookout coming from the heavens about 50m away.I gradually moved closer until I could get a good sighting,I rested against a tree,steadied myself and took the shot,when the Bisley Mag hit its target an echo of the THWACK rang out,and the squirrel fell to the ground.I hung around for a bit listening to the various sounds of wildlife while drawing on a bit of baccy but none of his mates were venturing out .Another visit is on the cards.

 

 

After wandering back to the van I decided to go to the farm and get set up for a bit of fun with the rats,I drove about 1/2 a mile down the lane and came across this.

 

 

I pulled over and for a better look when a chap popped his head around the corner and told me to come over for a closer look, we got talking and he offered me a mug of tea.We had a good couple of hours discussing our life story's and putting the world to rights,After taking a few pictures and saying our farewells he shook my hand and wished me well.Time was getting on now and I needed to be somewhere else so I gave the rats a reprieve and went straight home wondering if our paths will cross again..............I hope so.
