Watching the London Marathon had me thinking back to my own action-packed weekend in early September, perhaps the last before proper autumnal weather descended. My understanding of marathon running is that to break four hours is good, but to break three hours is the gold standard. So let me break this weekend down into marathon-sized chunks.
Norfolk is the destination and reducing an overpopulation of muntjac is the objective. More specifically, on a farm that was once arable, but is now mostly grass leys, fruit canes and large rewilded swathes. It has become a wildlife oasis. The rewilding ideology has much good in it; however, I don’t believe we can truly leave flora and fauna to their own ways. There are just too many outside influences. On this farm, the deer population is causing an imbalance.
