Fly Fishing!

Fly Fishing

 I know it has nothing to with the intended March Madness! Just like the story here and the unknown ending.

Anyhow I digress a little, the idea for March was to trawl the fields of the North of the County (Shropshire) on the hunt for The Brown Hare (Lepus europaeus). All the normal haunts seem to be devoid of anything remotely like them, where there was normally several there were none! But eventually a pair were found and putting on a show for me closer than I was expecting.

Brown-Hare-SLP

Just love those ears.

patience

The gentle approach.

apprehension

A few jitters.

Left-hook

She is not happy and he is expecting the ensuing slap.

right-hook

And the next.

slapped after these it heated up.

not-this-time

And the old left right combo.

Enthusiasm

A leap of faith gets a severe kicking.

Success

And finally he, Percy verance! gets his reward for all the battering and rejection he got.

So a successful hunt in the end, but it reflects the serious amount of shooting taking it's toll on the Shropshire populations, also the coursers illegally hunting them is it any surprise they are difficult to find..

well hope you come back soon..
