Hare at Welney Wetlands
Hare at Welney Wetlands
We patiently walked across the fields for the second week hoping to see the Hares, we were rewarded seeing two that hurriedly left their forms and ran in to the distance. The guide encouraged us to feel the warmth left in the forms from their body heat.

Mid December we were on our first guided Hare Walk. Unfortunately the Hares were not seen until our 2nd visit the following week when we did the Hare Walk again. We were lucky over the 2 weeks to see Cranes, Spoonbills, Roe Deer, Water Deer, Cattle Egret, and we stayed late to view the Whooper Swans being fed from the floating wheelbarrow on the flooded wash. Our highlight both weeks was seeing the Short Eared Owl sitting in the tree very close to the centre and also in flight hunting where we were looking for Hares.
