sounds like there rabbits she running she dosent stand a chance of catching, and the one shes chasing disappears into the hedge,ditch shes looking for the next one and so on , take her out on the lamp and try and find her one right out that she will have a chance on try and make it as easy as you can for her -

looks good that ,you would of thought that lightforce would have made ,desgined a flip up filter of some kind though
-
why do some people think a filter is just to dim the lamp,for lamp shy rabbits, to keep a low profile,etc,etc, they are a big help to the dog for picking out a rabbits eye when sending the dog out to a tight squatter in stubble, longish grass,winter rape, imo

to be fair mate i dont bother with the bike at 8-9 month, old but if you do bike it 4/5 mile at a steady pace a 2/3 times a week is ample with waking it free running inbetween even for a older dog imo
-
a good person on the lamp can make a big difference to the nights outcome imo, ifs theres a few laid out there i will try pick off the closest to the hedge first and work out to the further ones if they hold out there , another thing i do quite alot is if the dogs run a couple and theres still rabbits laid out there back on slip and just sit tight lamp off give the dog a blow then go again , but a big help is knowing the ground where there gonna head,be, can be a big advantage , plus wind direction can play a big part to how you have to lamp a place
-
always used a red filter, i find my dogs pick that rabbit eye up alot better with a filter in stubbles, longish grass ,etc, lamp and send them out in the red then flick to the white, wouldnt lamp without one myself
