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?
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 Säugetier aus der Familie der Hasen. Die Art besiedelt offene und halboffene Landschaften. Das natürliche Verbreitungsgebiet umfasst weite Teile der südwestlichen Paläarktis; durch zahlreiche Einbürgerungen 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 rückläufig. Die Schutzgemeinschaft Deutsches Wild erklärte den Feldhasen für 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.

Another highlight of 2020: While looking for rock ptarmigans my friend found this snow hare resting near a rock, it was quite far in a distance and i was using 600mm + 2,0 converter!!!...as this hare was sitting in a protected area there was no way to get closer. To see a snow hare in Germany is very rare, they live here only in the Bavarian Alps and are perfectly camouflaged...Bavarian Alps, Germany

A great day up in the mountains today made more wonderful by an encounter with this very cute Mountain Hare :-)
Hope everyone is having a great weekend! Here's a few from last summer that I've just been having a look over again... :)
A couple more images from the ongoing project with Hares. We've had some lovely weather recently, so it's been nice to have a bit of time to get out and watch them.
I used a combination of photos and merged them in photoshop elements to produce this Hare in the Moonlight.
I've been a bit quiet recently here, but that's mainly because I've been getting up early most days in the pursuit of these guys. Plenty more hare photos to come! :)
