1st of February: end of shooting season 2017/18 and winter…?
Winter can't decide which colour to show:...
...white with sun (road to Farndale)...
...white without sun (grouse on road, picture NYMMO)
...a lot of white without sun - but with Fake and Partridge...
...little white with sun and Ziva with pheasant.
By the way: on the very last day of the shooting season Ziva got a COM at the All Aged Field Trial at Merevale Estate, Atherstone!
Frost during the day...
...or frost at twilight (grouse on tree, picture NYMMO)!
Either way - shooting season is over (picture from Lockton shoot)...
...and it is time to switch the boots to posh shoes!
While driving home from Farndale we pass Hutton-le-Hole - very crowded during the season...
...now it is empty and so idyllic!
Idyllic scene also in Levisham...
...and in front of the famous pub there is a lot of space to park the cars.
Levisham moors: Winter is not over yet - we are just at the end of February!
