Brown Hare

Brown Hare / lepus europaeus. Lincolnshire. 11/04/22.

 

'ON FULL ALERT.'

 

Brown Hare activity has started to ramp up now, though as yet any I've seen have been rather distant.

 

My image was made two years ago on a disused airfield. The hare had worked its way leisurely across the grass towards me, scenting the ground all the time. Due to this behaviour I assumed it was a buck, either trailing a doe or trying to seek one out.

 

This is the nearest it came to me, due the bag hide I was hidden in getting battered by strong winds and making a lot of noise! Not ideal concealment on that particular day!
