Right now there are two brown hares sitting out in the open just beside our main scrape - fantastic!
These are amazing animals holdiing the land speed record for British mammals - often reaching speeds in excess of 40mph. As you imagine at such speeds they can be difficult to see but ofetn they can be seen "lazing" around on the floor and their brown fur helps to camouflage them. Eyes peeled then.
These "large-rabbits" are present on the reserve and do breed here so fingers crossed for a few "Mad March" boxing Hares ... "Ding ding seconds out"
Hopefully, these will be a regular sighting here at RSPB Burton Mere Wetlands.
