The Boxing Day Hunt
No not for foxes, for an earring. I shouldn't have been tempted to do a cartwheel on the track - following the bad example set by Harry and Esther. In spite of two fingertip searches by Eyes-peeled Esther and Hell-hound Harry, we haven't found the earring. Esther assures me it was not expensive, nor irreplaceable. Here are the hunters, along with Adrian, and then I popped in to join them.
That tripod is fun.
Later we did see some intrepid shooters along the track. Four 4 x 4s, a dozen people and their dogs. The only game I could see was one pheasant. That food must have had one hell of a carbon footprint. At a push, I'll accept that at least it'll be eaten, and the pheasant probably had a better life than battery poultry.

Hubby shoots at competition level, but won't hunt animals. He says he'll only hunt animals when they've learned to shoot back at him.
Pity about the earring though. I hope it wasn't too expensive.
Now, that makes the shooting field rather more level.
As for the earring, alas, I am not allowed to wear expensive jewellery unless it is very firmly attached. I am not to be trusted -far too easily distracted into the moment. I did think of taking the other one and see if it could call its mate...
