Wild Irish Hare
The Wild Irish Hare is a rare sight these days, but when you are lucky enough to spot one you can see why they were so revered in Irish Folklore. Often thought of as shapeshifters and associated with the goddess of the moon, hares were protected as it was thought that if you injured or killed one you would suffer dire consequences.
I was unbelievably fortunate one day on a hike up Slieve Donard with my wee dog Marley, when we got to the top and sat down for our lunch a Hare appeared and bounded down the mountainside. I was even more fortunate that Marley didn’t see it!
