Olite. Quail and partridge were in great plenty and on the heathy plains — hares were strong & afforded good coursing often on the line of march a hare would jump out from under the horses legs and old Fly ? a greyhound belonging to the regiment would give us a good course. I have often followed with a lance, and as all was hot hunting, would have a prod at word — hares would frequently allow themselves to be taken alive, being alarmed almost to death by the tramp and glitter ? of the horses and men. I have often seen partridges trampled in their nest either refusing to leave their eggs, or paralysed by fear.
