    Another hare that came to pay me a visit. This one was almost silver in colouring and quite distinctive. It was interested in a beautiful white hare sitting close by, but this interest wasn't being reciprocated!

    This wonderful mountain hare came so close to me I couldn't fit the whole animal in the frame, but it did make for a lovely portrait!

    This hare left its form to have a stretch then started to run, almost towards me, however it then stopped and returned to its form. Strange behaviour, but great!!
