Taylor's Travels - working whippets
Thursday, 9 February 2012
 The short-film series "Taylor's Travels" continues this week on CATV. Shooting Campaign Manager David Taylor recently visited Wensleydale in the heart of the Yorkshire Dales to see firsthand how whippets are used to control the rabbit population. The area, famous for its sheep farming, suffers greatly from rabbit damage to winter feed stocks, forcing the already hard pressed hill farmers to buy in more feed at market rates. In deep snow, a team of leading experts demonstrate how ferrets and whippets are used in combination to manage this serious problem.
This latest film joins David's other travelogues, which cover grey geese in Northern Scotland, deer management on the Monadhliath Hills in the Highlands and wildfowling near Barrow in Cumbria. Watch David's films here.
