We did pass a hunt a couple of miles up the road - think thats why they were on the move.

That would explain a lot.  when i was a young girl i saw a deer cornered in the carpark of a pub by a hunt. the noise was fearful and i have never seen such a frightnened animal.  isnt hunting banned now?

We they're not allowed to actually chase and kill somthing with the hounds - but i here there are loads of way around it... I doubt they were actually after the Deer anyway, more likely a fox (or a some poor ploke legging it about with a smelly rag).

Hmmm. I have deduced where you went for your spuds, keef.  Would it have been C.G.C. in W.....e?

If you come just a few miles north into the Downlands, we have gazillions of red kites now.   :)
