I could look at those Brown Hares every post and never tire of them. Kind of like when you share the Stoats, I really enjoy seeing them too.

It is now a widespread species, breeding south of here on the River Ribble, north at Leighton Moss and of course a few miles from here at Conder Green. I saw my first Lancashire one on 1st April 1983 on Pilling Marsh, a lone observer record. At the time because of its then rarity and also because of the date of April 1st, a number of people doubted the record. “Was it a Shelduck? asked one.
