Frosty March Hares


Last weekend offered up one of those magical moments that make all the early starts and frozen fingers completely worth it. It was an absolute treat to photograph Brown Hares in the frost, and what a morning it turned out to be.

With around ten hares scattered across the field, the scene was full of energy and classic hare behaviour—chasing, dodging, and, of course, boxing. The frosty ground added a beautiful shimmer to the landscape, making every movement stand out just that little bit more.

Every now and then, one curious hare would sprint straight towards me, completely unaware I was tucked away quietly at the edge of the field. It’s always a thrill when wildlife comes to you on its own terms—moments like that feel like a real connection.

Photographing Brown Hares in their natural winter habitat is a special kind of challenge and reward. Their speed, alertness, and interactions make for an unpredictable but always exciting shoot. I feel really lucky to have witnessed such a lively gathering in those stunning frosty conditions.

Here’s hoping for more crisp mornings and a few more close encounters soon.
