Brown Hare - Lepus europaeus
Canon 800mm f5.6 for 1/160th @ iso1600
There was a brief spell of disturbance and boxing hares in the half light of the early morning. Not enough light to photograph - three hares in total were chasing each other about - two males and a female causing havoc with the residents of the hillside.
This hare after having disappeared for a while reappeared and sat for a moment or two before departing the lek and moving off into the ferns and heather of one of the gullies that lead off the mountain.
A shot video clip of hares chasing can be seen here
