KITE VS HARE

I was watching a red kite enjoying its lunch on the ground when a hare appeared from nowhere at the gallop and smashed straight into the kite. The kite just spread its wings and didn’t seem unduly disturbed. The hare then backed off 20yd or so and repeated the performance twice more before ambling off. My assumption is that the kite’s lunch was the hare’s baby. I would not have believed that a hare could act so bravely.
