Hare

As we were out for Sunday lunch at noon there wasn't a great deal of time to go very far this morning, so I just went in search of hares locally. Wymondham was only 12 minutes away and  I drove there as slowly as I could manage whilst scanning the fields for signs of life. Unfortunately there wasn't anything. I had a quick wander around the town and then set off back to base. On the way I saw a field with loads of birds so quickly found a place to pull in and tried to see what they were. It was a whole flock of fieldfares, a bird I've not seen for nearly a year. They were some distance away and my big lens was in the boot as I'd been using the smaller one around town so I only managed a record shot(extras) before having to get back for lunch. 
After we got back from the pub, I took a quick drive back to the field, but of course they were nowhere to be found. However, on the way back to the site I pulled in as I thought I might have seen a hare. This time I had both the binoculars and the big lens on the passenger seat so was well prepared. I had to walk back a little to find a gap in the hedge and it was quite a distance away, but at least it was a hare! :) Hurrah! 
I also saw three red legged partridges running across the fairway in front of the apartment (extra). Again, not a great shot as it was quite late in the day and the light was very poor and I probably had the wrong settings too!  But I was happy with my sightings today, our last full day in Norfolk. It's been a good week and we couldn't have asked for better weather for the time of year. Roll on next year as we are back again at the same place.
