A Sussex man has admitted illegally hunting a fox – after being filmed by a wildlife campaigner.

Huntsman Nicholas Bycroft, a member of the Crawley and Horsham Hunt, was filmed by at Angmering Park, near Arundel, on February 19 this year.

Wildlife monitors – volunteers who are against hunting – filmed Bycroft hunt a fox with a dog.

On Tuesday Bycroft appeared at Worthing Magistrates’ Court where the 48-year-old, of Huntsman’s Cottage, Kennel Lane, West Grinstead, near Horsham, admitted one count of “hunting a wild mammal with a dog” contrary to the Hunting Act 2004.
