we had a day out today on a little place i have been saving untill the cover had died back a bit ... well we set off in freezing gales and a that horrible light rain that seems like nothing but gets you soaked to the skin and it stayed all day interspursed with sleet and and even colder wind ........

 

we started off on an open exposed bank and the rabbits just wernt happy to bolt and it took an age to get them moving ... we had about 10 out of here and decided to pick up and move on because at one stage the locater was registering 8 foot and i didnt fance digging ... it will save for another day ....

 

we then moved all of 50 yards into a nice open warren on a nice hillside field the rabbits were bolting better here but by hell could they shift across the short grass ... we had another 12 out of here and only covered part of it as we wanted to go across the small valley and try our luck over there '' this will be another spot to save for the future'' .........

 

well the place we finished off on was holding good numbers and we had another 20 odd off here in a short space of time and only managed to cover a 1/4 of it ... so i will leave this area to settle for a few weeks and and wait for a nice cold still frosty morning and then hit it hard ...........

 

finall tally for the day was 48 ... not bad considering the conditions we were ferreting in ..........

 

her are some pics ... the cameraman couldnt take many as the weather so bad .........
