Where Are They?
I had been watching a group of hares playing. The others ran off through the crop. This one was sitting up trying to see where they had gone.

Courting Hares
This pair had been chasing around for some time. I was very lucky because they ran straight towards my camera.

Wash and Brush Up
Hares spend quite a lot of time grooming themselves to keep their coats in good condition and to rid themselves of parasites.

He`s not giving up! The loose hair on the male`s back can be seen where she has kicked and boxed him.

*Brown Beauty
This beautiful hare was basking in the evening sun. I managed to get so close by walking very slowly and making no sound.

Running By
This hare ran past me in pursuit of a female.
