A beautiful Hare for #WildlifeWednesday We don't see Hares on our local patch so it is always a treat for me to see them when out and about. 🤎 📷

A European Hare sits in a grassy field where it had been feeding. A medium sized mammal with golden brown fur and black tips on the end of its long ears. The Hare is almost staring at the camera as it senses someone is around. Taken in Hampshire, UK

This was my first close encounter with a Northern Gannet, having previously only seem them from afar when crossing the bay on a ferry. They're lovely!

Just completed the editing of images from trip to Lake District. I understand why Alfred Wainright had no desire to travel abroad. A view of #GrassmereLake as autumn takes hold.

This is a view across Grassmere Lake. The hotel in the distance reflected in the water. The trees on the hill behind, acquiring the colours of autumn.
