A young hare is called a leveret (up to one year of age). They are born with their eyes open, and are left alone in the day, laying in place, in forms to avoid attracting predators. The mother returns at sunset and the leverets gather around her to suckle.
flowers at last! Which ones shall we eat first?/ Liebres indecisas, al fin las flores! Cuales comemos primero?/ Fundersamma harar, Àntligen blommor! Vilka ska vi Àta upp först?
There are more Pine Marten and Osprey images to come, but here's a couple from a while ago with the hares. I've not spent any time with them for about a couple of months now. The crops have been too high!
Thank you all who fave and comment on my photo'/video's,much appreciated.

Brown Hare - Lepus europaeus
Norfolk
The brown hare is known for its long, black-tipped ears and fast running - it can reach speeds of 45mph when evading predators. It prefers a mosaic of farmland and woodland habitats and can often be spotted in fields.
Thought to have been introduced into the UK in Roman Times (or even earlier), the brown hare is now considered naturalised. It is most common in grassland habitats and at woodland edges, favouring a mosaic of arable fields, grasses and hedgerows. It grazes on vegetation and the bark of young trees and bushes. Brown hares do not dig burrows, but shelter in 'forms', which are shallow depressions in the ground or grass; when disturbed, they can be seen bounding across the fields, using their powerful hind legs to propel them forwards, often in a zigzag pattern. Brown hares are at their most visible in early spring when the breeding season encourages fighting or 'boxing'. Females can produce three to four litters of two to four young (known as leverets) a year.
Widespread, but absent from northern Scotland and the Scottish islands, except Islay, I'm reliably informed.

Snowshoe Hare running around! I tried some high key images today; white subject on white snow on a cloudy day... BTW those are the back legs....
Just driving along,and this hare was so close to the road,good job I had my camera with me.
Thank you all who fave and comment on my photo'/video's,much appreciated
Never tire of seeing these guys - my heart is in my mouth when one comes close...
Which do you prefer - close up or further away showing their environment?
During a walk this morning, I saw this hare about 1.5 km from my house and went back for a camera. Never in 29 years have I seen one anywhere near my neighborhood. The few seen in the City are usually in transitional industrial areas or on the periphery.
This is how our photo session ended with him hunkered down. It was a good shoot.
The field hare, also called hare for short, is a mammal from the hare family. The species inhabits open and semi-open landscapes. Its natural range covers large parts of the south-western Palearctic; however, due to numerous naturalisations, the brown hare is now found on almost all continents. Due to the strong intensification of agriculture, the population of the brown hare is declining in many regions of Europe. The Schutzgemeinschaft Deutsches Wild has declared the brown hare the animal of the year for 2001 and again for 2015.

Der Feldhase, kurz auch Hase genannt, ist ein SĂ€ugetier aus der Familie der Hasen. Die Art besiedelt offene und halboffene Landschaften. Das natĂŒrliche Verbreitungsgebiet umfasst weite Teile der sĂŒdwestlichen PalĂ€arktis; durch zahlreiche EinbĂŒrgerungen kommt der Feldhase heute jedoch auf fast allen Kontinenten vor. Aufgrund der starken Intensivierung der Landwirtschaft ist der Bestand des Feldhasen in vielen Regionen Europas rĂŒcklĂ€ufig. Die Schutzgemeinschaft Deutsches Wild erklĂ€rte den Feldhasen fĂŒr das Jahr 2001 und erneut 2015 zum Tier des Jahres.

I was worried for this fellow. It was small, but unusually confident, sitting in the area of the falcon family. I normally don't get that close to a hare.

One of two brown hares seen this afternoon at the top of the Cotswold escarpment. I managed to get reasonably close to this animal which was resting close to a hedgerow in an arable field.
