What a Bounder

We saw each other down a country lane. I was in the car and he was in the field. I moved first; grabbing the camera, hitting the breaks and checking the mirror - not in that order I hastily add and he weighed me up but not for long as the shutter noise proved just too much. 

Hares hold a rare fascination for me. Delightful to see in the countryside if you are lucky though difficult to get near on foot. I'm not sure if it's the long hind legs and the way they lollop along or their faces which seem to hold a good measure of intelligence, their huge ears or even those adorably large eyes. Whatever is their attraction I know I'm not on my own putting them in the top ten of my favourite animals.
