Ferreting in Upper Wharfedale
 Jack (nearest to the camera) and Dave at the first warren. The albino jill examines the first rabbit of the day whilst Tommy, the lurcher, checks to see if there is anyone else at home. |
Jack follows the movement of the jill with the locator whilst Dave stands ready with the spade. |
 Dave starts off the dig. |
 Jack gets down to around 2 feet before hitting a large rock. Fortunately the jill came out to see what was happening, she just got fed up of waiting to be dug to! |
Setting purse nets further down into the valley. |
The jill has just surfaced and Dave is just about to pick her up to introduce her to another part of the bury. |
Tommy on the way back after having caught a bolter. |
 Tommy adjusts his grip on the rabbit. |

 Waiting for the action to start. |
 Two rabbits were bolted from this bury, they both managed to go back to ground up the hillside before Tommy could catch them. However, we moved up to that bury where they were caught. |
 Jack has just entered both jills into the bury. |
Just waiting! |
Jack has dug down to the ferret who has a rabbit bunged up in a stopend and is now reaching down to grab the rabbit. |

The rabbit is quickly and humanely dispatched by chinning. |
Tommy is letting Jack know that there is still another rabbit in the bury. |
Jack reaches further into to the bury and come up with the... |
