Brown Hare Lepus europaeus 3 - Welcome To My World
Very rarely have I come across a hare as laid back and confiding as this one, allowing me to share its world for so long a period.
The location was a grassy bank on the edge of a stubble field beside a wood. The track I crept along was slightly uphill enabling me to keep low until I dropped down and inched gently forward on my knees in order to photograph it eye to eye.
I make no apologies for posting several more intimate images after this one of it nibbling the grass, scratching, washing, grooming and glancing casually my way from time to time by way of checking that all was still ok.
Pleasingly, when I carefully backed away, overjoyed and thankful, it just carried on with its Brown Hare business.
