Brown Hare, August 2025
I have just managed to capture a full-body image of a brown hare, especially without the grass covering its feet. Its appearance is different from the Irish hare; I wasn’t even aware of the difference in species of hares in the UK/Ireland! See my other post on Irish hare; they seemed to have shorter ears…

Birds of Ballyronan, April 2025
On the shore of the Lough Neagh, at the Ballyronan Marina.

Apparently, the wildlife animals on the ground waited in hiding while the buzzards were hovering around above. Additional Photos (Misc)

Buzzard, July 2024
Buzzards are something I frequently see from my home. A pheasant was killed by one of them in front of my house a few years ago while we were away for the whole day. Having discussed this with a neighbour, it never occurred to me that the buzzard could kill pheasants. The buzzards usually keep…
