Chris and hen harriers.

[Snape]

It has been mentioned elsewhere that Chris has stopped fishing for now and turned his attention to birds, in particular hen harriers. Here is a lovely radio broadcast by him about this passion.

It even made the cover of a magazine:

I was the opposite in one way!

Birdwatching next to rivers/lakes/etc. became fishing those waters!

I can see the progression. But typical in many ways he has opted for a single species. Bird watching as fishing is an open book for me at least. I will certainly look forward to any writing that may issue from his experiences.

Am I going nuts or have some replies to this post disappeared?

I can see were Chris is off to.
He has caught plenty of good fish over the years, more so than most of us.
He says he apologises for disturbing there peace in the name of sport fishing.
He know enjoys the other side of the pond.
I find myself now thinking about killing worms (they are amazing) Maggots... what a great job they do and they are bred in there trillions to be liquidised or thrown in a lake, river or pool, stuck on hooks.... what for.... our fun.
Controversial?
What ever way we look at it... it needs to rest easy on our own Conscience as Jack Hargreaves said.
Never will it be an easy topic... bit touchy..
Perhaps Bread and cheese is the way forward.....
