I have only see them twice in ten years.
The Cape Hare is a nocturnal herbivore, feeding on grass and various shrubs. Coprophagy, the consumption of an organism's own fecal material to double the amount of time food spends in the digestive tract, is a common behaviour amongst rabbits and hares. This habit allows the animal to extract the maximum nourishment from its diet, and microbes present in the pellets also provide nutrients.
Like other hares, they run fast. The only predator which is capable of outrunning them is the cheetah. All other predators are ambush and/or opportunistic hunters; examples of these are leopards, caracals, and black-backed jackals.
After a 42-day-long pregnancy, the female gives birth to from one to three young, termed leverets, per litter and may have as many as 4 litters per year. A characteristic of hares which differentiates them from rabbits is that the young are born precocial; that is, the young are born with eyes open and are able to move about shortly after birth. The Cape Hare is no exception in this regard.

Brown Hare - Rusakko
Brown Hare in the night, i been feeding hares with oats many winter. Now here in Finland is very cold -20c -4F. Hares seem to be very hungry now they come to feed suun as night fals.
More hares... :)
A small in the frame shot but one of my favourites from recently, particularly with the rays of sun coming through the storm clouds.
Lepus europaeus
A visibly surprised hare - he almost ran right in front of my open car door. His behaviour seems to confirm that hares have poor eyesight.
Ein sichtbar überraschter Feldhase -er wäre beinahe direkt vor meine geöffnete Autotür gerannt. Sein Verhalten scheint zu bestätigen, dass Hasen schlecht sehen können.
It becomes increasingly easier for Hares to play hide and seek in the growing crops. I truly enjoy laying flat on the ground and capture them as they come by.
We met this snowshoe hare at the Cabin Creek Cabin, foraging in the same place as last year. It's pretty tolerant of humans who keep their distance; after all, it lives near a backcountry ranger cabin.
Hares and jackrabbits are leporids belonging to the genus Lepus. Hares are classified into the same family as rabbits and are of similar size, form, and diet as rabbits. They are generally herbivorous, long-eared, and fast runners, and typically live solitarily or in pairs. Hare species are native to Africa, Eurasia, North America, and the Japanese archipelago.
Four species with "hare" in their common names are not considered true hares: the hispid hare (Caprolagus hispidus), and three species known as red rock hares (Pronolagus spp.). Meanwhile, jackrabbits are hares rather than rabbits.
A hare less than one year old is called a leveret. The collective noun for a group of hares is a "drove".

A break from dunlins and ringed plovers for a little while to catch up on photos I haven't had chance to upload. First up this hare which I photographed at RSPB Bempton Cliffs, definitely not the species you would assocaite with Bempton!
The Arctic hare is a species of hare highly adapted to living in the Arctic tundra and other icy biomes. The Arctic hare survives with shortened ears and limbs, a small nose, fat that makes up close to 20% of its body, and a thick coat of fur.
Seen on and evening walk in the Lincolnshire countryside. The Hare came directly towards me. Stopped had a scratch and then carried on.
Suddenly the crops are getting taller and the hares can be sneakier but there are still the occasional runs across the fields.
Please indulge me as I upload a few more hare poses that were struck so conveniently for my camera as I sat in the car in state of high excitement and hands shaking. Camera control in those circumstances was not easy.

I chanced upon this Mountain Hare a couple of days ago in full summer pelage. Pelage is a word that people often ask me about but it is commonly used by mammal enthusiasts. It's the mammal equivalent of plumage, which of course only applies to feathers, so it describes the coat, or fur of a mammal. The population of mountain hares in the Peak District were introduced there from Scottish animals during the nineteenth century. Their diet is mainly heather, but they will eat grasses, rushes and almost any other plant that grows on the high moors. They are smaller than Brown Hare, have shorter ears and lack black in the tail. They seem to live up to their name "timidus" too as they are often skittish. Brown Hares do not occur in Ireland, but Mountain Hares occur throughout, though never turning white in winter. In Scotland they are predated by Golden Eagles, a problem not faced by the Peak District population.
Its so nice to close to these wonderful creatures.
Thanks for the visit Guys, All your fav's and comments are very much Appreciated.
Still going with the hares and will be for some time all being well!
Not quite the easter bunny but close enough... :)
It was lovely to be able to sit and watch the wild Hares the other morning. I had set up my telephoto lens in the car and wound the window down before I set off. I was able to drive slowly past several fields where I see them most freqently. This individual was soaked through from the morning fog and dew, and was washing himself off.
Sometimes you are in the right place at the right time. With the right camera and lens. A running hare in silhouette
Quite a crop this one so no keeper but great to see them boxing still. Not even early in the morning - they are still gamboling around 10.30am.
The brown hares are very difficult to spot in the long grass. Spotted this one with the binoculars and maaged to get within range, without disturbing it. I'd gone out not expecting to see anything (wront time of day) and therefore wasn't really prepared for a long stint watching, took a few photos and left it in peace.
