The hare in spring
Hares can be seen jumping after each other in the early spring months.
Once in a while they will stop and perhaps take to one of their famous 'boxing' matches using their forepaws. These are the males, or bucks, contesting the right to mate with the female, or doe.
When they are engaged in this kind of activity they are less alert and you may be able to get quite close to them.
