I took 132 photographs this morning. 3 shakey images of a fleeing Grey Heron and 129 more of Brown Hares.
The sun was trying hard to get out from behind the clouds this morning, but it was cold (for May) and still quite windy.
A smattering of birds were on or around the water and reed beds. 2 Grey Herons, 2 Mute Swans, 8 Mallards, 2 Canada Geese, 2 Reed Buntings, several Chiffchaff, a Linnet, 3 Herring Gulls and a Buzzard.
It was nice to finally see more Swallows around - about a dozen today.
So nothing new and no rarities to report.
Thank goodness then for a pair of Brown Hares who allowed me to get close enough to take some half decent photographs (well I like 'em!).

Hare fact of the day: Hares eat large quantities of plant material and so their digestive system is specially adapted to cope with this. During the day they produce soft faeces (droppings) which they then eat. This means that the food in these faeces is digested a second time, extracting more nutrition from it.
And I bet they've got bad breath too!
