Acts of provocation

This picture made me laugh. It looks like it was taken on an automatic trip-wire camera, and the fox's facial expression is so hilariously bamboozled that I wanted to use it somewhere on this blog.

Having found the fox earth and planned a possible way of destroying it, I thought that I had time on my side. It turns out that I was wrong. Two new born lambs have gone missing over the past twenty four hours and this is a situation that cannot continue unchecked. The field from which the lambs were taken lies within sight of the earth and it is fairly obvious who the culprits are.

One day the Chayne will be run solely as a game shoot, but until that day arrives, farming has to remain the central priority for the land.
