Mooching in the snow!

[dave1372 83]

After all the bad weather this week followed by the snow last night was the first opportunity to head out for a mooch about, we weren't expecting to see anything really....just wanted to get out the house for a while. Couldn't believe how bad the snow had been in Midothian, a lot of the places still had powercuts and the snow ploughs had formed 6ft high mounds at the side of the roads. When we got to the farm immediately we realised it was going to be a pointless excercise because unless the foxes had grown very long legs there was no way they would be mooching about the fields. Here is a photo to show you how deep the snow was (the rocks are the top of a wall:

My mate had just jumped over the wall, hence not tracks! Well spotted though.

Looks like a great time for a mooch.

 

I am very envious as I would love going for a wander in snow like that. Not gonna scare anything but a beautiful time to be out.

 

Happy days

Hope you and your friend have permission to be there, looks very much like a field where i shoot, and i am the only one with permission to be there LOL.

 

its just that the top of the stone dyke looks very familiar, as i have stopped there loads of times and shot foxes in the field where your mate is, now i know why i havent seen any for a while in that field, hope you managed to get him out or he will be stuck in there until around mid may... HA HA HA

Outstanding powers of observation....I am impressed. Didn't realise you needed written permission to jump into some snow though lol ! I have only seen one fox around that farm since January....think I have done myself out of some fun there now lol . Just want this damn snow to clear up fast so I can get down the other place too.
