Good morning folks!
 It has been a couple of days since I last wrote anything but well it was the weekend and I had things to do.
 This morning I had my lovely early morning walk with one of my dogs, we have to be a bit careful as he's not brilliant with other dogs since he was attacked when he was younger. Sometimes I have come across a couple of women with three dogs and this morning I decided to sit on the stile and wait for them to go so we could just amble in peace.
 We were sat there quietly just chilling out and watched three hares running around like crazy, it was lovely. After about 10 mins the hares bolted across the field away from the other path and you could hear the women coming. They are always so loud you can hear them coming a mile off!
 I have chatted with them before and when I tell them what animals I have seen and taken photos of they are always surprised, they say "We haven't seen a thing"

 Well theres a reason for that...YOU ARE TOO BLOODY LOUD!!! I haven't actually told them that to their face but gawd, they must see (hear) it surely??? No animal is going to hang around with the amount of noise they make but they are not alone, I see and hear it all the time, people go out in the countryside to walk but don't actually take in any of the countryside around them or the critters that live there!
 That's why I go extra early in the morning but these women have appearead now and ruined my 100% quiet time. I wouldn't mind so much if they were quiet and took it all in but nope, not a bit of it. I think it's sad really, all those things they are missing out on.
 As soon at the women had gone from the field the hares came out again, one leaping over the stream at the bottom, they weren't bothered by us at all as we see them nearly every day. Hares are just one of the animals I see frquently whilst out walking, I also see ravens, deers, kestrels, buzzards, foxes, badgers, a vast and varied amount of other birds. I am incredibly lucky
