Another Cracking Day at the Bunnies

[Rolfe 2]

Today we completed the second day of our rabbit contract and took a further 18 bunnies from about 6 small warrens.

They bolted well and we missed a few from unseen bolt holes and the ferrets killed in a couple of times.....but we had no long lay-ups. Once again we finished the day with a nice bag of rabbits........and a nice bag of apples as well. The dog worked well and caught a few rabbits that slipped the nets...........the long net halted the others in their tracks.

Foxy.......it is a beautiful part of Northamptonshire...lovely rolling hills and and prime rabbiting country. Any rabbit caught way out hiding in the nettles........has a long run before finding safety........and most never make it...the lurchers see to that That is the view from the old Manor House........we were ferreting the steep banks and it was a sheer pleasure to be out in such wonderful surroundings. The Manor House........is now a brain injury rehabilitation centre........hence the need to remove the rabbits.

looks like you had a good day rolfe great pics again . But i did say i would make you one pie didn't want a barrow full of apples :whistling:

I've never been to Northamptonshire Rolfe, but your photos always seem to have beautiful backgrounds, so it must be a lovely county. I was out last night with Lucy on a friends estate, and there's something quite...warming, for want of a better word, about being in those surroundings. Old trees, and old stone, and that sense of timeless-ness. Maybe I'm too sentimental and soppy!!!

Nah..........not sentimental and soppy Foxy.........its when you truly come alive... being at one with nature and the elements is a feeling that cannot be described in words..........you can only "feel" that warm feeling when you fully understand the beauty of the countryside.
