European Brown Hare
European Brown Hare / lepus europaeus. Orford Marshes, Suffolk. 15/03/17.
‘WHOLE LOT OF SHAKIN’ GOING ON.’
Early morning on a Suffolk coastal marsh and the grass still dew-laden. I captured this Hare part way through one of it's grooming routines. It had raised itself up onto it's hind legs and was shaking it's fur vigorously to rid it of water droplets. They spend a lot of time doing this and especially don't seem to like having wet feet!
If viewed large, you will see some intentional motion blur around the centre of the Hare's body. This was to highlight it’s shaking action and I devoted time making this type of image whenever an opportunity arose during the day.
BEST VIEWED LARGE.
