Organic vinyards offer a natural living environment not only for our vines but also for many anymals and
plants that find their home between them. So, walking through the vines oberservantly in the spring can
lead to some truly great sightings.
Spring's over for a few days now, but here are some pictures of what can be found thriving in our vinyards
in that season. The greening between our vines forms a nice habitat not only for plants and small critters,
bigger animals like it as well. The greater mammals of our area use the plant cover to hide their young from
the watchful eyes of predators and people alike.
While the pups are very
young, only a few days of age, they do not run away from danger but depend on their camouflage for
protection. Usually that works out quite well for them. Sometimes tough one can find them hiding under some
plants and that's how above fotos of a fawn and baby hares were made. Been Lucky that day! But take care,
discreetly taking picutres is fine, touching is not! The pups would be abandoned by their mother and thus
have to die.
So always have your eyes open but also keep your distance!
