MAMMAL: Brown Hare at Brockholes Wetland, Lancashire

June 28, 2009:
On a warm summer evening there had been a violent thunderstorm with accompanying heavy rain for about an hour when, in dim light, this Brown Hare suddenly appeared out of the surrounding vegetation and loped along the access track. It seemed to be completely saturated but after shaking itself and wiping it's face with its paws, it carried on its way.









Thanks to the authorities for allowing access to this site
