Bloomin good job I wasn't going very fast :shock:

Four appeared from the long grass at the side of the road & darted over the other side. Then one changed it's mind and went back again and re-appeared with another two! :shock: :lol::lol:

A treat to see one and never before today have I seen more than two at once! Simply wonderful Such beautiful creatures. Hope they stay safe.

Wow! I often see one on it's own and there has been 4 in the field next to our house before, but 6! That's a privilege!
I do worry about them this time of year when they're darting across the road - not every driver is as aware of the hazards of the happy hare!

I know :shock: It's a road I drive along most days. It's very rural but also the main link between two villages & so fairly well used. Being typical hares a few of them panicked a bit and ran along the road for a while instead of going across and disappearing :roll: I stopped and just watched them until they went out of sight. I was grinning from ear to ear

Would they have been a family? To see that many so close together?

I was going to ask the same. Did they look like adults or leverets?

I'd say they were somewhere inbetween. Not tiny, but not quite as large as others I've seen so I think maybe a family of teenagers :lol:
