As middle of Mid Wales as you can get, between Newtown and Llandrindod... no shortage of foxes about, although after lambing is over and the lambs are strong enough I leave them be, unless mother looses a chicken or two!

They lamb all the Welsh ewes out, as if they come into the sheds they go downhill; doesn't suit them at all and its those flocks, particularly the yearling welshies (not the best first time mums!!) that Mr Fox plays havoc with.

12&#13.
One needed the dog to find. Shot a bit far back .
Jess soon found it and it had departed.
It was missing it's tail tip I noticed

13 was a nice 143yd shot but I forgot to record. Large vixen.
Seen another in the distance as well.

One for me tonight - NO 2
Little vixen - spent 2 hours watching her in and out of cover

Great to get out and not be drowned - saw lots of stuff making the most of it too - woodcock - snipe - ducks all over - 6 deer in the same field as me hardly moved all night

#9 8.05pm came in from behind me so v hasty shot off fence post as no chance to deploy sticks. Big vixen.
Waded though a swamp to retrieve her despite being on a good slope. Saw 3 more. Two out of bounds and another a v long way away which could not hear my Best caller.
First serious foray since 20th Jan.
