Nothing happening here other than an old terrier out for a walk. Used to run hares on this land but no more. Even if the law had not changed the simple fact is that the hares no longer exist here. But the sight and the smell of harvested fields still evokes a sense of anticipation, the change of the seasons.

I love that. The odd hare used to be found on the pit slag heaps around where I grew up. Barren lunar landscapes but as we know hares can make great use of the ground to remain invisible. Needed a dog with a good nose to find them. I had such a dog, a Russell that would hunt like a pointer or setter when needed using the air. He would sometimes take a hare off its seat in those places, much to the disgust to lads hoping for a run. He also caught the occasional partridge on those slag heaps. Is that not what the lurchers are meant to do? ? happy days.
