The dearly departed at Fewston

I was fishing at Fewston the other day, one of my favourite fishing spots, and as any good angler, I was just sat there very quietly.

Suddenly I caught something out of the corner of my eye!

A tiny little mouse! It had appeared out of the bank and was crawling towards the edge of the water. By this time I was holding my breath not to disturb the little chap, as it neared the edge of the water it must have caught site of me. It turned to look at me and then something extraordinary happened – it dropped dead!!!!

Now, I am not known for my medusa like qualities, and I don’t think I was particularly wearing a loud shirt that day (!), but this little creature had gone to meet its maker.

I wandered over to where it lay, and just to check it hadn’t just suddenly decided to sleep, I gave it a few little nudges, but sure enough it was no longer with us.

Hmmmm………….. Makes you think doesn’t it!
