| | | A nest of leverets
My new wildflower meadow is at last starting to green up and the first wildflowers are beginning to show
On a walk this morning I noticed a large patch of taller grass over towards the road, which obviously had not been killed when the original meadow was sprayed to prepare for the new seed
I took a walk over to have a look when a hare leapt out and ran away across the meadow. I looked to see where it had lain and discovered I think 5 little leverets (I didn't want to disturb them too much by getting too close)
I got a little on video which I will upload to my website when I get the chance
However ...here is a pic 
Cute. eh?  |

What a gorgeous sight
Hares do nest above ground unlike Rabbits.
Thanks for sharing |

Well I was ceratinly lucky, and am glad I took a couple of pics and a little video
Why? because the mother has moved them all 
Well ... at least I think that is what has happened .... once the nest was discovered she has found somewhere safer to rear them all
There certainly are lots of places around my garden where she can hide them |
