Update: Our little hare is doing well! Thank you to Bev wildlife carers in Tulla for your support and advice. The hare has travelled up to Wildlife Sanctuary in Kildare for expert care and to be among other hares and soon will be rehabilitated back into the wild. It's been really heart warming to hear people's comments and care about the baby hare. Check out Hogsprickle and Kildare Wildlife Sanctuary for all the amazing work they do and advice on what to do if you find an animal in trouble.

First day and Thumper is doing really well. Here he is ready to dose off after a feed.
Diarmuid rescued a newborn baby hare, it's mother sadly died on the road, Diarmuid had to remove the baby from the mother and an hour later is now feeding the baby it's own mother colostrum, she must have been just ready to give birth. The baby is doing well!

Something here to the untrained eye that wont stand out. There's an art to camouflage that nature uses to hide even the most obvious of animals. When learning wilderness survival people are often hyped on making the bow and getting the arrows made. But to stalk close to an animal in a mind frame of invisibility you need to blend in.
