Showing my age, this looks like Hartley Hare from the Pipkins, just google it you'll soon find it.
Some call them vermin, but they're still a cracking looking bird happy to nest alongside other species as long as that other species is 100m away alongside no Avocets !!
Cute and ready to colonise further, another real success story in Kent with breeding birds at many localities now. Gone are the days of special trips to Minsmere to see Avocets and Marsh Harriers................remember Mr Marsh Harrier in Island Mere with his running commentary on the Marsh Harriers....'Marsh Harrier going left' 'Marsh Harrier going right'.................................20 minutes later of non-stop commentary 'Marsh Harrier' in bush. During this time, a Little Bittern, Sponbill or even a Black Kite could have passed over but , on goes the Harriers every movement commentary
