This Hare about 100m away from us across the south margin decides to depart
and gave a nice little illustration of 'high jump' as they left.

Many metres from the safety of the surrounding crop field, this juvenile Hare is nibbling
on the grass and some weeds at the front (i.e. visible from the house) of the
main pond. Left is a view eating a leaf in 'suck-it-in' style taken through the kitchen window.
On the right through the window of a room above the kitchen with a more capable camera.

In the field margin the Hare watches events from the conveniently short grass..

What looks like a young Hare outside the Kitchen window. This
year Hares have appeared in our patch rather than on the farm's
land. What did we do that was right?

Long crops seem to be handled by leaping over the top. This
individual turned after the next leap to follow the easier path
made by the farmers sprayer wheels sinking into the mud.

This Hare was quietly leaving the corn crop, the rear legs well forward of the
front legs and not even put on the ground yet.

At low speeds hares don't really 'walk' - we call it lolloping in a very awkward
looking gait with such unequal leg lengths. These 3 images are
about 3 times more horizontally spread than reality.

A Hare's quiet lollop down the concrete road is watched by the female Pheasant as well as us.
There are typically 3 or 4 images between each we show here. The whole sequence available on request

An early morning outing disturbed this Hare that Lolloped down
the bank of the farm track. This is alternate frames so the Hare
was not that bothered by us.

Before the run above this Hare was ambling partly towards the
camera. These images are shifted successively leftwards so that
the montage doesn't overlap.
We have 'tidied' the grass to hide the repeating pattern.

A Hare running into the Oil-seed Rape crop.
The sequence is a bit offset as it changes direction, and it is roughly
alternate frames as it lollops to the right, but it is as an accurate
representation as we can manage.

This Hare is, for now, a regular visitor. This moment before sitting down
really highlights the unequal length of the front and rear legs that gives
Hares their characteristic gait.

2 days later an obviously different Hare makes one of their regular visits to
the East hedge gap about 150 metres from the hedge gap above.

We are sure that the Hares in the surrounding field feel rather dispossessed
after harvest and harrowing. Woodland are not quite their 'thing', but their
occasional visits are most welcome.

A Hare spends a couple of minutes wandering around near the East Hedge gap. We
have seen at least one Hare being carried back to the Fox earth to feed the four
hungry cubs, and it is a relief to see that there are enough Hares to tolerate
the predation.
