Hares on a CL

[maz]

We have been staying on a quiet farm CL near Melton Mowbray for a while now, and have been adopted by a couple of young hares.

The people in the other van on the CL thought we had brought a couple of pet rabbits with us!

No, they are not. We see them running about a lot and they are definitely hares.

Did they look like hairs...

They did from a distance!

Definitely leverets ( young hare ) , we have them in our garden ,
distinguished by long dark ears , back raised much higher than a rabbit when walking

It could be due to the long lush grass under the van - we haven’t moved for a while.

Not so lovely if you have young tree's around, I used to help out on a friends large fruit farm and a regular job was "persuading" the Hares to frequent "elsewhere", the damage they cause to young tree's is amazing (and rather expensive)

Years ago they would put decent fences to keep animals out as well as stock in. Used to have deer fences as they would love to eat the fruit trees.

Or just use tree guards?

Jugged hare recipe

'The Glorious Twelfth' was the start of grouse season. But did you know that hare season also starts in early August? Rachel went on a hare shoot in Scotland and made some very economical jugged hare with her bounty.

Personally I would prefer a decent rifle. But it wouldn't be the leverets in my cross hairs. It would be the coursers, scum the lot of them

This is the one in my garden yesterday, picture was on my wife’s phone
