The house martins have arrived back to #Waterford and are swooping around and repairing their nests! (This pic from last year) Also nesting under the eaves are starlings, bats and a great tit. Yes, I did a happy dance!

Seems to be alone. Mama goes after about 6 weeks. Apparently 75% of them don’t survive.

The leveret (baby Irish Hare) is thriving in the wild garden. She is often huddled up against the house so that we can observe her every move. Note the huge back feet! When fully grown she will be able to run like the wind! #BanHareCoursing #IrishHare

I think we still get them because we have no dogs or cats? Every year I wonder will they survive. So far so good. Touch and go isn’t it? 🙈 Hope all is well Roisin. 💚🌿

This is a very young leveret, the offspring of an Irish Hare. They don't live in burrows like rabbits but in the undergrowth, in this case my own wild garden. 75% of them don't survive this unusual upbringing in which the young are left to fend for themselves after about 6 weeks.
