Along with my Dad, David and I had the absolute pleasure of going on an organised hare walk up on the South Downs this week. I've had the privilege of seeing a few of these magical creatures in my time, but never so many on a single morning. There were a few hunkered down which took time to spot as many a clod of earth looks to be the right shape at a distance, but several were out and about being busy. I knew before we started that there was no point in taking any photos with my phone so all my viewing was done through binoculars. Thankfully David Taylor of the Friends of the South Downs Society [https://www.sussexnature.co.uk/], who led us, shot this stunning footage and he has very kindly given me permission to share it on here so you can enjoy it too.
Hope you have a corking weekend.

That's amazing. You don't see that many together, it's usually one on it's own. And then they dash away across the field.
ReplyDeleteAs you said ‘stunning footage’. Thanks for posting and to David for agreeing to post. Not seen hares for years.
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing experience! xxx
ReplyDeleteI’m glad you enjoyed the walk Sarah, I have been back since with similar results.
ReplyDeleteHares abound here - used to dance past my caravan in the early mornings. There is a black one that is regularly seen around these parts.
ReplyDeleteWhat a joyful little clip.
