More hares :)

Lovely to see this hare in a harvested corn field

Happy Friday!

So I'm getting there with the new spot close to home. There's a spot where I can lie on a public footpath, which the hares sometimes use to travel between two fields. I'm finally getting some closer views!

Have a great weekend...

Brutal weather out in the Peak District this morning. High winds, sleet, snow and limited visibility. I lasted about 3 hrs before I headed for home. However, this type of weather is no problem for mountain hares.

The mountain hare (Lepus timidus) is a Palearctic hare that is largely adapted to polar and mountainous habitats from Fennoscandia to eastern Siberia; in addition there are isolated mountain populations in the Alps, Ireland, Scotland, the Baltics, northeastern Poland and Hokkaidō. The mountain hare has also been introduced to Iceland, Shetland, Orkney, the Isle of Man, the Peak District, Svalbard, Kerguelen Islands, Crozet Islands, and the Faroe Islands.In the Alps, the mountain hare lives at elevations from 700 to 3800 m, depending on biographic region and season (Wikipedia)

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! :)

Thank you all who fave and comment on my photo'/video's,much appreciated.

Hares tend to be more active at dawn and throughout the morning and early evening.

The last few days saw me take another trip back up to the Scottish Highlands as the snow had finally arrived. My first full day was in the company of this Mountain Hare, high up on the Cairngorm Mountain...

Been watching a few Hares for a number of days and trying to work out where their main highways might be. It's generally random but they seemed to prefer one area of a couple of fields. In position at dawn and waited. Some time later....well much later.... this Hare appeared!

The brown hare, also called hare for short, is a mammal from the hare family. The species inhabits open and semi-open landscapes. Its natural range includes large parts of the south-western Palaearctic; 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 declared the European hare Animal of the Year in 2001 and again in 2015.

Wikipedia

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.

Continuing on with the Hares - I can't get enough of them!

Here's a couple from yesterday morning...

This Mountain Hare displays it's survival instincts by selecting a sheltered spot to keep out the wind.

There has been a lot of farming near home recently. The usual spot I went to for the hares in February/March is now a potato field so they disappeared. It wasn't until recently that I found where they've been hiding. I'm hoping over the coming weeks to do much better than these two shots, but for now...

More Hares! ;)

Watching this little hare as the sun was setting, how delicate their ears are....

A frosty encounter of the whiskery kind from earlier this week...

I forgot all about this little bunny that we met along the path at the Bayard Cutting Arboretum... he was so cute... and quick!!

On a sunny morning, at 7AM, on the roadside .. if I had not been in a car, it would have disappeared in one second ..

Getting the eye from this super Hare.

Thanks for the visit Guys.
