  1. Love these rabbit photos. Fascinating, the hare was white in the Winter and now has a brown coat of fur? All of your other work is excellent too, as always. Thanks, Tomass.

    1. Thank you, Jeffrey.

      Yes, varying hares are white in the winter and brown in the summer. They're also known as snowshoe hares, because of their huge hind feet.

    3. I've seen them a lot this spring. It's been interesting to see the change in colour from start to finish.

      'Enjoying these wild hares' is pushing my wordplay buttons, but I'll hold my tongue.
