Hares are Abound

Hares are being seen more regularly in the fields now they have been mown and the leverets have grown. Wader numbers are definitely increasing with 30 snipe, 82 curlew and 20 lapwing being peak numbers we have recorded this week and a wood sandpiper dropped in this week. Our moorhens have bred again with at least 2 broods of chicks been seen this week which are only days old.
