Hunting isn’t separate from conservation. It’s tied directly to it.

300 people including speakers turned up to see an end to “clay pigeon” trail-hunting 😂. That is 0.0736% of how many of us marched to save hunting.

More misinformation from the league. I’ve just cycled into town and couldn’t find any signs of any hunting!

A shadow falls across the polecat portrait. Upon the jaw there sits an ugly swelling, an abscess, or perhaps some growth, that must trouble the beast sorely.
In the wild, where no kindly hand nor veterinary art may reach, even so small an affliction can spell the end.

To all the hunt staff who have moved today, good luck & may Diana bless you. It will not be long before we are back at this.
Come what may in Westminster, the huntsman’s horn will sound & the hounds will speak, for the rhythm of the chase cares little for politicians.

A fine fox, sleek and russet, has at last passed before my camera trap. There is something almost magical in the business – to capture so wary a creature with a wide angle lens no more than a foot from his whiskers, his wild eye bright in sun. #foxoftheday

A fine dog fox and his vixen paused upon the bank this morning, quietly prospecting their new earth. The sun warms the slope from the south, the soil lies dry and well-drained beneath the roots of the old hazel and beech – a perfect nursery for the months ahead. #foxoftheday

Captured in the stark honesty of black and white, the old earth bank comes alive once more.
From the dark mouth of the den emerges a tiny phantom – a fox cub, all soft fluff and wide-eyed wonder. In these ghostly tones he appears like a spirit of the wild. #FoxOfTheDay
