Lolloping down a country road towards me.
From a holiday in North Norfolk recently.

Apr 15, 2026, 9:03 PM@petewalkden that's a belter of a photo! It really shows how big and solid they are. Also how small their brains are...

Never has "I'm gonna nibble" been so intimidating.
Dana das Grau 🧙🏻🧝♂️DanadasGrau@mastodon.socialApr 15, 2026, 9:51 PM@petewalkden I read that as “lollypopping” at first and thought, well that sounds fun too

Love these guys - got spooked by one in a field in Berkshire one time. It's the only time I've seen one up close, usually they're just belting across a field in the distance.
Great picture.
@iveylineIveyline@mastodon.nzApr 16, 2026, 3:58 AM@petewalkden Great shot!
Ferryoonsferryoons@mastodon.scotApr 16, 2026, 6:55 AM@petewalkden Hares are wonderful, magical animals. I still have a picture in my mind of three hares boxing in the Scottish Borders, 25 years ago. And yours is a fabulous photo.

Karen AlexanderBookherd@urbanists.socialApr 16, 2026, 9:32 AM@petewalkden I thought this was a kangaroo/joey at first glance! An unusual perspective on a hare.
Bj�rnbjorndown@mastodon.socialApr 16, 2026, 1:23 PM@petewalkden the front feet (?) look like it is "walking" yet both back feet are in the air?? Seems strange (to me) or is that just "lolloping"?
Edit: nevermind, here is a great sequence: https://www.moorhen.me.uk/iodsubject/mammals_-_hare_03.htm#07
