Took Alfie out for a quick shine last night.It was only his third session out with the lamp.
We walked across 2 fields to where i knew there where plenty of bunnies. First lamp about 8 rabbits going in all directions, I slipped Alfie and he picked a nice easy looking one but totally over shot the rabbit in all his excitement.
We had a couple more slips on this field with no success so we moved onto another field down the road, We walked about 200 yards on this field and spotted a rabbit about 60 yards away, i was just about to slip him when the rabbit started to run for the hedge. i flicked the lamp off left it a few seconds and flicked it back on, the rabbit was back in the field and sitting still, Alfie was off in hot pursuit and he chased it into the ditch, i thought it was all over and about to turn off lamp when i saw the rabbit come back out of the ditch with Alfie right on it's tail for about 10 yards before he caught it.
I was well chuffed and hope it is the first of many.
