Brown Hare Courtship at RSPB Otmoor ..... (1 Viewer)

Hey Everyone :)

Just wanted to share this short video (montage of videos) I filmed of the Brown Hares at RSPB Otmoor, Oxfordshire yesterday afternoon.

I have seen Hares at Otmoor before but I had never witnessed them boxing, which I did get to see a little of yesterday (unfortunately not in the video.)
I did manage to film the Hares (there were several of them in total) chasing each other and I also managed to film the male mating with the female which was great.

I spent a good while watching them chasing each other around and just appreciating the courtship as a whole. I hope you like the video :)

The video is best viewed in full HD. Sorry about the sound being distorted - it was very, very windy at times!

Thanks for stopping by :)

Cheers, Rob
