After a totally rubbish day, I went for a walk to do a bit of hare watching: saw curlews, oystercatchers, lapwings, a buzzard being mobbed by gulls and around a dozen hares, some close enough to take photos of. At one point I was looking through binoculars and had seven in my field of vision. Got my ear nuzzled and snuffled by a lovely piebald horse (a girl has to get her kicks somewhere!) and an old collie came over for a tummy rub (not mine, hers). Aren't animals great?

Feeling much better now.
