A hare snapling discovered in the quiet borders of the James Stuart Garden in Norwich is a deceptively delicate creature: longer‑limbed, dusk(ish)‑coloured, and quick as a dropped shadow.

Though technically found in a city space, it shows the unmistakable habits of a wild snapling - keeping low to the shrubs, threading silently through bramble tunnels, and vanishing the moment it senses attention. Garden visitors often glimpse only its telltale signs: a brief rustle, a flash of grey-blue, and the faint, resin‑sweet scent it leaves on the stems it brushes past.

Even in an urban setting, this snapling behaves as though the garden is merely a temporary refuge on its wider, hidden circuit through Norwich’s green edges.
