The Huntsman and the pack in this four picture sequence. The first photo (1) is before the hunt has begun. In the far distance, beyond his left shoulder, is the thicket in photo (2). The pack has picked up a scent and are working around the marshy area. In photo (3) the Huntsman has dismounted and is helping the hounds as they try to locate their quarry. At this time, they are 400 yards away from my location. In photo (4) Reynard, a fine large grey fox with a bushy tail, has sprung from the far side of the thicket and with a bound races across the field of winter wheat. The photo taken is between 300-400 yards distance, and Reynard, in full flight, rushes past the two whippers-in. I was so astonished, I only snapped the one image and then switched to video to record the rest of his flight.
