Out last night.

Giardiasis?
No no mate.
I've got a virus that produces phlegm but it won't cough up and is going into my stomach. This is a cycle that repeats itself over. I've had it for a couple of weeks. One day ok next not so good. A brandy usually stops the stomach gripes and a lemsip sorts the aches but I've got to drive to granddaughter's school to take her home.
I'd of loved to get out this afternoon after work but I wasn't up to it anyway 😞.

You all's have a good night at it though 👍🏻

Ah well, I braved the minus 3 degrees we have in rural Norfolk to have a look at one of the poultry units.
I managed to squeak up a nice healthy dog fox onto the track leading down to the main fields 🦊💥
I also had the pellet gun in the motor so I had an hour on the rats before I left, trimmed up 37 of the buggers.
Unlucky Freddy..

Nice one 👍🏻
 
First night out of 2025 for me & drew a frustrating bank. Buggered it up really. Had FoxPro going with vixen mating. Set up exactly where I wanted, hidden from moon & with good idea where one would come from. Thought I'd be clever though & scan behind me, just incase of a rear sneak attack. Eyes back to front, just in time to see one about turn from caller & leg it!! FFS . Dunno if it was my movements turning back around when wearing about 12 layers, or the fact she got so close to caller, but she was off. No doubt caller shy now. I say she as I saw her do a wee before going in hedge bottom. She hung around for while after, wrong side of hedge, see in thermal.

Left it a bit, then tried calling again. After bit see another heat coming down hill, from woods towards me. Getting ready as it passes 400yd, steady enough pace when who pops out of hedge, but the bloody vixen!! She intercepts 2nd fox then they both disappeared for the night. It was probably her fella, she telling him they having an early night. Poor bloke, he thought he was on for a 3some!!



Kicking myself really, was pointless checking behind, couldn't even have shot that way. Lesson learned. Annoying thing is I counted 8 grey partridge in that field that morning so would like to get foxes out of there.

Well chaps I got up at 04:00. The calling within was too strong!
I just checked my neighbours chicken units. It's all I could do. Even as I got dressed and gear ready my mind was already wanting to return to bed!
I krept up the farm track to be treated with the sound of the big diesel locomotives carrying all those containers from Liverpool to Birmingham. Docked in big oil burning ships bringing goods for the little minded woke idiots the length and breadth of Britain.
They are a few miles away but when you can hear them clearly we are in for rain soon!

So far up the track I looked back at the farm and noticed something hot in the fence but I was to lazy to light it up. It had no familiar shape so I didn't bother starting the Zulus.

I didn't really see anything else as I rounded the chicken sheds, just a few rabbits.

I was awarded with a dog fox barking in the distance on @Andy RV patch, near some sheep.
By now my chest was burning so I turned for home. I don't know what this bug is but I'm knackered from it!
On my way back I got to the back of the farm and that hot spot had gone...😡
Now I think it may of been a curled up fox waiting for me to pass, bugger!

Look, I tried and that's that. I got home, put kettle on. Poured a dram of malt and went bed but not before oiling that bore!

Good effort Smelly, slightly mad in your condition but good!
Reading this in a hotel in Amsterdam, first night and already wishing I could be home in pursuit of my favourite redheads…
