Brown Hares & Chinese Water Deer 15th February 2014

 Wind was blowing a gale but decided to visit and area of the A5 in Bedfordshire where I knew it was likely to see at least the Chinese Water Deer that had escaped from Woburn Deer Park some years ago and now lived feral in the surrounding arable fields. A opportune stop in a concrete access to one of these arable fields to have lunch gave me an instant viewing of two Brown Hares only about 50 metres away. hunched down  sheltering from the wind. All the photo's were taken from my car.

 Having a good scratch

The Chinese Water Deer are easy to spot in the arable fields during the winter period. Note the male in the foreground with the long incisors.
