@MadgeJesss @Mammal_Society We’re leaving plenty of long grass on our lawn, exactly for that reason! And the shorter grass nearest the house gives plenty to eat, with good cover nearby. We often have 5 or 6 hares of various sizes, nibbling away here, at dawn

[Cemlyn Bay @CemlynBay]

Discovered and rescued this beautiful tiny leveret while cutting a path through our long grass today. We love #hares @Mammal_Society

[Cemlyn Bay @CemlynBay]

Oh just wow …

[Cemlyn Bay @CemlynBay]

@CrochendyB @dot_pj @Mammal_Society Well ‘rescue’ is used fairly loosely. It was relocated from in front of the mower to underneath an adjacent hydrangea, where the hares tend to run. We’ll probably spot it in the morning, munching the clover. 😀

There’s something simple and special about summer evenings at Cemaes Bay
