Saw my first March hare's today

I can just imagine me traipsing over the neighbour farmers field with some kitcat, he would probably think I had lost the plot

 

....but the beauty of the plan is that if the hares decide to dash off, you can eat the KitKat yourself, and try again the next day
I recommend the large size type.

 

Just a little update regarding the hares they came a lot closer today (no KitKat) but no action from them, I think the wind chill kept them hunkered down.



This afternoon the deer show themselves across the next field, I think something must have spooked them, they kept looking across to the trees, they didnt come close to me today nice sight though.

 

The running deer are a fine sight, so many of them, but having studied the fields for the hares, I can’t make them out at all...is it me?

 

@Oakapple ,..its not you they are very hard to see

 

Oh that’s a relief, I don’t have to go to Specsavers

 

Here you go oakapple I have zoomed in some.



They are very difficult to see when they hunker down I suppose there very survival depends on being difficult to see. When I let mother know they are in the field she always says “where are they I cant see them” and I have to take a photo for her.

 

Ah, there they are! You need good eyes to spot them. This one belongs to me and is called Harold.

 

He looks almost life like I have always been told never to have one of any animal as they get lonely, your going to have to get him a mate

 

A pretty garden Oakapple. What is the plant to the right with the orange flowers please?

 

Thanks sheal, it’s a helianthemum.Such good ground cover and spread quickly ( the pic is from last year in May.)

Here is Harold hare again ( today) with his friend Hilda ( remember them from Ever Decreasing Circles?)

 

Thank you Oakapple.

 

Brilliant
