We walked seventeen kilometres in strong winds and sunshine today. Two hares came dashing towards us, one chasing the other, and they practically ran over our feet. They swerved at the last moment and disappeared into long grass. I just couldn't get the camera onto them both, and had to zoom out. Looked serious business.
Birds were scarce generally but a pair of Montagu's harriers made up for that.
A probable third one was seen. I was shattered and headachy when we got home, and my plan to start the garden bio-blitz for Springwatch was abandoned. I think I'll stay in bed tomorrow.
