I saw this hare from my window today and walked very quietly outside with my camera. I managed to get one picture before it saw me but then sight of me made it scurry towards the top of the field. :D
Great shots Pauline!!! :D I'm always amazed at just how quickly hares move - especially when I try to get a piccie!! ::)
Great pics pauline....I love hares ;D ;D
Pauline. Lovely picture. Thank you .
Lovely pic Pauline. I haven't seen a hare for years :(
I've onl ever seen hares on the T.V or in photos- never in the flesh! I need to get out more.... ;D
I see hares in the fields most days - much more often than I see rabbits.
Depends where you live I think - they have almost disappeared from the West Country, but are much more common in East Anglia.
They have an amazing turn of speed - I'm sure they could outrun a horse over short distances - well done for getting a photo.
They've always been scarce in the West Country; I lived in Cornwall for 8 1/2 years back in the '80's, in what would have been good hare country anywhere else, and only saw two the whole time.
I always think about Hartley whenever I think about hares. Wonder if they are all little ratbags like he was?! ;D
It is my mission to see a hare this year!
We had one residing on the plot last year - ran clean through my hands when I was weeding! Didn't half make me jump! They were clearing back some of the common - coppicing the woods and trying to drive the deer away from the main roads, and the hares moved with the deer....only a hell of a lot faster!
Great photo Paulline!
well spotted p7 :)
