Too late for this beauty. Sold after only 43 years on the market. On a serious note, this is in the heart of rooster country. Most farmers leave these to simply rot and cave in. At that point, the few acres involved are turned into cultivated land. In the meantime, great upland habitat surrounds these places.



One day, the young farmer who has this land, will likely add a bit to cultivation; however, he loves to hunt upland and also has three young boys who will need to find a few roosters for the pot. A match on a calm day and this caved-in barn could be ashes but just in taking the picture I had to kick a rooster out of the grass. Now that was annoying because I thought I would take the picture first and then wander through with the shotgun. These days, the protocol is always to wander through with the gun first and camera second.



This one is gone now but the shelter belt trees and hedges remain and an occasional rooster can still be found if one takes a hike around.



Cheers,
Jack
