Mountain Goat & Fiery Tw*t

 

Crossing a vineyard

 


Returning from a falsie

 


On and up the hill

 


Returning from another falsie

 

Flour blob cunningly hidden behind piled-up stones after a check

 


The pack have just crossed a dual-carriageway (main road).
What is the hare smiling about?

 



Ahh! a falsie on the little bridge

 

Our hare proudly shows-off an almost perfect check

 


We come across a large flock of sheep guarded by a shepherd with 4 sheepdogs

 


Then Mountain Goat - out checking finds his way back blocked by another flock of sheep.

 


Anyone for hashing??

 


We cautiously walk through the flock with the sheepdogs barking

 

The shepherd seems friendly

 

On On!

 

The large sow that aggressively chased the hare when she was laying the trail

 

Passing the RSPCA dog kennels. The noise of all the dogs barking was deafening.

Your photographer Mad Dog trying to run the circle & take photos at the same time didn't realise
the light level had dropped and the camera flash was turned off. Hence the blurred photos.
