I revisited the place I used to go rabbiting with my uncle last year, not been there for 20 years. When we used to go it was acres and acres of rough land with huge areas of brambles and meadows, brilliant for rabbiting and we'd regularly see foxes, barn owls and various other wildlife. I couldn't believe it when I saw it last year, the whole lot is flattened with a football stadium, Renault garage and a few other buildings put in it's place. Well depressing!!

It's thinking about this thred that makes me realise how long i've been into running dogs....

 

One of the specks we used to run as kids was built on with factorys, which now have been flattened, to waste ground again!

 

Though I don't think i'd be running any dogs there soon, nor most of the specks I used to practicly live on..!

the fields i started out on, bird spotting, bird nesting, , rabbiting, and running the odd hare, and also helping out on the farm have all been built on now, its a massive housing estate/small town, it seems a long time ago now, good days...........

I spent all my time as a kid mooching around the loacl ironworks, the place has a brook and fishing pond that provided a regular supply of rats, the hundreds of acres also had a healthy supply of rabbits and foxes used the pipes on a regular basis, nowdays there is a huge spiked fence around the perimeter to keep people out. Also the fields just on the outskirts of town had fields full of bramble and gorse which was a haven forfoxes and rabbits, now a housing estate has been built there....

My auld dog used to course hares on a small peice of land not a stones throw away from my house,theres about 300 hundred houses there now,when about half of them were built and the rest was a buiding site the hares were still present,walked through the estate one day and she lifted a hare and coursed it through the streets,didn,t expect any hares to still be about

I would say mid nineties were the start where a lot of brownfield/edge of town were built on there used to be a very large derelict farm near me we had good dirt tracks for riding motorbikes on barns where we used to keep chickens in the amount of rabbit n fox there was unbelievable now thr huge factories and big road going through it
