This morning I spoke on @bbcradio4’s Today Programme (7:23am) about an open letter I have sent to the Prime Minister, urging the Government to fulfil its promise to end cruel practices harming animal welfare by introducing a close season for hares in England and Wales. The letter is backed by a broad coalition across conservation, politics and the arts — including @bornfreefoundation, @isabella.tree, @williamjhague, @robertmacfarlane, the #HarePreservationTrust, @writerhannahbt, #MichaelMorpurgo, @charles.earl.spencer, @stephenfryactually, @joanna.lumleys, @nicholassoamesmp, and @philippullmanofficial Hares are the only game species in England and Wales without legal protection during their breeding season. We are calling for an end to this unacceptable anomaly, to stop the killing of pregnant and nursing hares, and prevent the starvation of orphaned leverets. Please add your support. Sign the petition via the link in my bio. Listen to the full episode here: bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m002d9… #TeamHare #RaisingHare #BBC #BBCRadio4 #TheTodayProgramme #AnimalWelfare #ProtectOurWildlife

“Woweeee!” said the hare when he surfaced. (And so did I…this field of Crimson Clover was stunning. At first I thought it was tulips and had to get a closer look). #Clover #hare #brownhare #crimsonclover #Springwatch #BBCWildlifePOTD #Norfolk #wildlifephotography #Teamhare
