Hares and foxes are animals I think of as being active at dusk but I saw both within a few minutes of each other at midday on Monday. First the hare, running lazily ahead of me down a lane before dashing through a hedge when a huge tractor approached us, then a fox loping through a field of grass and buttercups where I'd stopped for a bit under the shade of two oak trees. The fox looked at me with no more than mild curiosity, perhaps recounting when back in the den "I saw one of those humans sitting under the oak trees in the middle of the buttercup field. You don't often see them just sitting there."
I wonder if there's a difference in the diurnal habits of rural and urban foxes, with the city slickers coming out at night to raid bins while the country cousins are more active in daylight?
