Brown Hare
My local spot for brown hares has been very disappointing this spring. This was my forth visit this year and I had come to the conclusion that the hares had moved on, as I had not spotted any at all. In fact, there were alot of rabbits, dead from myxomatosis which was strange, as I had never seen a rabbit in this area. Walking back to the car, a brown lump in the far end of the field appeared, throuh the bins, it was a Hare. I was happy, I was made even happier, in that it ran right towards me only stopping when it caught my scent, thirty feet away. I shall persevere with this site and hopefully the numbers will increase again and that they do not get effected by myxomatosis.
