Caught in the Act - European Hare Takes a Ploughed Field Power Nap!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this snapshot, we witness nature's own master of disguise - the European Hare - indulging in a well-deserved siesta amidst the furrows of a ploughed field. Nestled snugly within Berwickshire's picturesque Scottish Borders, this hare has found the perfect camouflage to blend seamlessly with its surroundings. With its soft brown fur harmonizing flawlessly with the earthy tones of winter and spring, this adult hare effortlessly evades detection from both predators and passersby alike. Its keen survival instincts are on full display as it takes advantage of the bare farm land, using it as an inconspicuous resting spot. As one of Britain's most beloved wild animals, hares have long captured our imagination with their graceful leaps and mysterious behavior. This particular specimen showcases all that makes them fascinating: their herbivorous diet, their ability to adapt to cultivated arable fields, and their preference for temperate climates across Europe. Photographer Phil McLean has skillfully captured this moment in time when nature meets agriculture. The image serves as a gentle reminder that even amidst human cultivation, wildlife finds ways to thrive and coexist harmoniously. So next time you find yourself strolling through Scotland's scenic countryside or tending to your own farmland, keep an eye out for these elusive creatures who can turn even a simple nap into a work of art!
