All together now...ahhh!
I was on the mower and caught a glimpse of this little guy nipping into a patch of daffodils so I stopped for a look.
By rights I should probably have done him in as hares are a major nuisance in our garden and frequently ruin young trees. But call me soft...I couldn't. Put him back instead and have declared a moratorium on hunting adults for a while. I wouldn't want to look too hard at the logic involved here but I'm comfortable with the decision to give him a fair chance.
