Running White Hare
Yesterday I posted a running brown Hare from my Hare photography trip and this is a Leucistic Brown Hare. It is predominantly white and is extremely rare in Hares.It is a genetic condition resulting in loss of pigmentation.
It was very wary at first but we were able to get close using a vehicle as a hide.
These white Hares crop up in Folklore and mythology and it is supposed to be the spirit of a Maiden.
A Magical experience indeed to see one of these beautiful creatures.
