When you go owling the unexpected often happens.
For whatever reason I seldom get the opportunity to photograph these beauties. You can imagine therefore my delight to come across two of these gorgeous animals in one night.

Apologies for the poor quality photo (taken through a filthy kitchen window in bright sunlight & heavily cropped) but I just had to share this special moment when a Hare came to visit me. I'd only just got up & was waiting for the kettle to boil when I spotted it's ears as it bounded through the long grass in the field heading our way & quickly grabbed my camera. Luckily it popped through the fence & posed on the driveway for a few seconds before bounding away.
Irish Hares are a species of Mountain Hare, different to the larger Brown hares common in Northern Ireland & the mainland UK. Unlike many Mountain Hares their fur generally doesn't turn white in Winter www.hare-preservation-trust.co.uk/irish.php

Something different from the images of Scotland recently - two photos taken close to home as I start up my annual hare project again...
The two phenomenal artistic comets of the 1980s contemporary art scene in New York City are brought together in this mural. Largely discovered by Andy Warhol, both Keith Haring (1958-1990) and Jean-Michel Basquiat (1960-1988) quickly shone like supernovae until their lives were ended by illness and drugs.
The Haring reference is particularly apt, as not far from here in 1984, the New York artist himself painted a mural in his iconic style. Sadly, it was damaged by vandals recently. [Those feral humans who understand nothing of value - veritable oxygen thieves of which there are far too many around these days.]

I recall seeing the exhibition of both these artists in Melbourne in 2019. www.ngv.vic.gov.au/exhibition/keith-haring-jean-michel-ba...
From Streets to Canvas: The Rise of Jean-Michel Basquiat - the Rebel Genius
We were so lucky to find this pink field and to have some hares running around even though we sometimes had to wait for hours. When you're completely camouflaged the hares are so curious that they run towards you to check you out. Well not all the time (*_*).
Another from last weekend. Back out in the morning tomorrow to see if they're still around... Fingers crossed!
This hare was sitting out in full view this afternoon. It seemed to be enjoying the sunshine after the recent atrocious weather.
The brown hare is known for its long, black-tipped ears and fast running - it can reach speeds of 45mph when evading predators.
The Brown Hare can be between 24 and 30 inches tall. Also they can be up to 11 pounds in weight.
good to go
An Irish Hare racing through a Fermanagh field - Its lovely to have these beauties on our doorstep and I always love to se them!
This Snowshoe Hare was a frequent visitor to our campsite a few weeks ago. He was probably studying my gimpy way of walking these days. Hubby calls me “ Hop-along Cassidy “ some days….in an endearing way, of course. I have noticed these spots on the ears and face of many hares over the years of camping. I can’t find out what that means but I did read that these hares ears are smaller than most hares. They are still pretty big and profuse with many veins which help him moderate his body temperature. I am waiting to hear about a surgery date for myself soon that makes me very nervous. However, I am hoping it will help my hop-along gait. Fingers crossed. It means I will be off and on frequently for a while. I may not always comment on your pictures but I really enjoy seeing them when I have a moment to peruse the site. Take pictures for the joy of it and post them for the joy of others. Thank you to everyone who has encouraged my photography over the years.
Lovely to find seven hares in one field , they were quite distant but eventually two came pretty close
Aptly named for its preference for scrubby grasslands, there is enormous regional variation with Scrub Hares particularly in the length of their ears.
I had a close encounter of the Harey kind today. There were 5 Hares running around in this field, I just sat at the edge watching them, keeping still & quiet. Then a couple of them started running towards me. I almost had to warn this one about social distancing during the current Covid-19 climate. It was a fantastic experience to have such an amazing animal come so close.
Like a lot of people I love hares but had never seen one until last year in France when we saw the tail end of one bounding through a field. So imagine my delight yesterday when this gorgeous creature took time to exchange a 'moment' with me. It was probably young but felt right at home in the grounds at Bowood House.
