Re the runners. We are thinking of puting Heras panel over the side of the gate so it is more difficult to climb. Sadly there was not a 'quick' route, but we will speak to the manager of the wood where they probably got out to deal with the fence there, which is currently flat. No, you didn't go to a strange school. I learnt stalking in Guides, and can get in front of people in our woods, or stand still and watch them, and they are completely unaware of my presence. My best ever was when taking part in a Scout wide game when I was wearing a white jacket in a wood at night. By standing still, the lads thought I was just a tree of something. Not the best camouflage, but I didn't have another jacket, and it was rather chilly.
I went up to the woods on Thursday to meet husband and son who had been out on a delivery and a hare was wandering around the 'yard' quite happily. I was sat in the van, and it didn't seem to notice me. A jay also flew down into a tree in front of me, so two nice bits of wildlife in one sitting. |

the history and "wildlife study" of cammo is interesting
bold can be invisible to the observer
my best hide was not me, a 6 foot crowbar in full sight standing proud in the ground , invisible from a few feet away due to one and a half turns of bramble
getting wookie to play hunt the crowbar was very funny
a military chum taught me the lie down, throw frass up, stay quiet, do it fast and it is surprisingly effective
that survived an unplanned 20 person hide and seek game at 5 yards on open moorland, a few of them were quite good but......
somewhere i have one of his magnum photos, tis a pile of seaweed, find the one eye is difficult.
he set the self timer on the camera and went for it, well under ten seconds is adequate |
