Down in the potato patch
Having moored up today I left Himself to wash down the boat - last nights mooring in March under the trees left Yarwood with a sticky coating of sap - and I took the dogs for a short but much needed walk along a fenland drove.

Lovely pic's, female hares dig a small 'scrape' in tilled earth,(this is called a 'form') and have their babies (leveritts)there, not sure but that may be the reason she held her ground and didn't run like her companion or possibly her mate?

Hi Chas
DeleteYou learn something everyday don't you? I used to see hares on a daily basis when I lived in Lincolnshire and I rather like them!
