Spring will soon be here.

I'm taking a look back at some pictures I took in the Spring of last year, as I can't get out at the moment. Not birds this time either.
I saw this Brown Hare while at Cley in Norfolk. It spent a good time chasing around the surrounding fields. Nothing unusual you'd think about that, but then it did something I've never seen a Hare do before. It got into the water and swam from one side to the other. It really shocked me, and had me watching open mouthed.

 

Not where you'd usually expect to see a Brown Hare.

This Stoat came back to see if I was really watching him. I sure was, and I knew he'd pop his head back up.

    Hello,
    I have never seen a hare or rabbit swim, that is odd. The Stoat is a cute critter. Great collection of photos. Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Take care, have a happy weekend!

    The brown hare is really great!
    I also looked at your photos with open mouth! Is that really a hare? I really didn't know they can swim!
    Nature can always surprise us!
    Beautiful pictures! Thank you!

    These are beautiful photos Adam.
    I didn't know they could swim either, learned something again.
    Watch out and stay healthy.

    Never saw a hare swim! Look forwards to spring now. Maybe the birds and animals do too, but they will be very busy!

    interesting wildlife today. A swimming hare? Never heard of it but you have proof.
    The Stoat seem to be a very curious one :)

    I saw the first photo and thought that is one funny looking bird! I didn't know rabbits swam but I don't know lots of things about wildlife. I have read about stoats and I'm not sure I've ever seen a photo before. Wonder if they are called something else or are not here in US? Just googled and they are weasels - well only seen photos of weasels too!

    Love the stoat! I don't believe we have them here. Do folks ever make pets of them? They remind me of ferrets.

    That hare shot is exceptional. Excellent work. You should enter it into a competition
