In the Light of the Moon

The hare is nocturnal and spends most of its day in a shallow form on the ground; and unless someone approaches very closely it will not move away from its resting place. Apart from the certain times of year, in the spring mating season or during the corn-harvest when hares are disturbed, there are few to be seen about the countryside. But you will frequently see them out at dusk or in the light of the moon, moving and feeding in the fields. If they have lain in the open or in the woods or reeds of a marsh for the best part of the day, they will come out into the open at night to feed and disport themselves.
