At the beginning of April 2024, I booked a day in Tom's Brown Hare Hide., where I spent 13 hours in a tiny one-man (or, in this case, one-woman) cubicle, and was rewarded with many visits from the hares (despite it being a windy, and sometimes wet, day. Below are a few of the images I took on the day.

The problem when it rains is that you get your hare wet.
