Brown Hare - Lepus europaeus

**rolf** · 28-04-2008, 10:09 AM

Disturbed this chap as I was cycling the other day, between Cernay and Villebon.

Awww/. He's lovely. Don't think I have seen a wild hare
Good capture. Well done

I have a series of him, will process them tonight.

The Brown Hare seems to be enjoying a healthy status at the moment in areas round about us Rolf. I easily saw at least 16 a few days ago in an area close to home where I walked about 2 miles one afternoon last year and counted 32.

Would be interested to learn from some source of its national status.

nice shot rolf. we get hares on the aerodrome airfield where i work. they are pretty big when you see them up close.

Yes, bigger than I'd imagined, was out yesterday and spotted what I thought were Mole hills in a couple of fields, they were of course Hares, managed to get a couple more photos.

Great shots. I love the third shot. Well captured

**rolf** · 01-05-2008, 10:08 AM

It was quite funny, as he was watching me as I watched him.

***Chocky*** · 01-05-2008, 10:12 AM

And neither of you dared to move

He's lovely I could pick him up and give him a squeeze

**rolf** · 01-05-2008, 10:37 AM

You'd have to catch him first.

***Chocky*** · 01-05-2008, 02:52 PM

Story of my life

**Merlin** · 01-05-2008, 09:51 PM

You'd have to catch him first......Story of my life......Ahhhh!......you'll have me in tears next Beryl.

It really is great to see these guys 'boxing'......brilliant creatures.

Only joking there Pete

**Merlin** · 01-05-2008, 10:30 PM

Oh Good!......I was rather worried there Beryl but if I'm really honest I did know you was in joking mode.

Pete.
