The hedge.

[stealthy1 3,964]

Had a couple of hours on this hedge, its a hedge I do annually, this year its Rape thats planted in this field, the bunnies favourite, but these bunnies are in for a shock This is the hedge.

 

 

Looks like there's plenty of berries for the thrushes and waxwings this winter.

 

 

 

And it looks like the local badgers have been out and about.

 

 

Down to business, knee gear on, not cool, but at £5 to save picking thorn out of my knees, I'm willing to be uncool for a couple of hours

 

 

A bit of netting up.

 

 

The triangle method of placing a net

 

 

And someone with a low bordem threshold while you net up

 

 

And this is the way we went up the full lenth of the hedge. The action wasn't frantic, but the sun was shining and the bunnies were bolting.

 

If you dont run, you will get your arse chewed.

 

 

And if you do run, you will have your throat chewed

 

 

Who needs an EU when you have a friendly rescue jill

 

 

And the session ended like this

This is my youngest jill at a year old.

 

 

And this is my oldest jill at 5 years, older members with remember her ripping me to bits when I rescued her from a couple of idiots, wouldn't be without her now

 

 

The end of day shots.

Its a grueller, you dont see your partner until you reach the other end of the hedge, even the spade gets chucked over if you need it

90% of the buries round here are in the hedge, I'm well versed in the art of dodging the flying shovel/bill hook!

Its funny you should say that, I shouted for the shovel and it nearly hit me on the head, couldn't understand why it came over so quickly, until my partner told me he was leaning on it when I asked, bad time for me to grab a gob full of iron bru, nearly

Yep! have it mastered now mate thanks for sorting the other mess out

I'm no fan of hedge sets, especially well fenced hedges, nothing quite like dangling over the top of barbed wire trying to lay a net while hanging upside down, blackthorn in your fecking eye. And as for trying to dive in to grab the bunnies. . . . .

 

Give me nice woodland sets anyday . . . . .
