Photograph by @andyparkinsonphoto // Brown hare with a walking stick - During the winter of 2011-2012 we had an unusually harsh winter in Derbyshire which carpeted the ground with snow for weeks on end, even down to the lowest altitudes. During this prolonged cold snap I spent six weeks, working every day, with these brown hares as I knew that it was an opportunity that, with our warming climate and generally wetter winters, might never present itself again. The blizzard that I and the hares found ourselves in that afternoon was ferocious, the biting wind gusting up to 65mph and my face was been relentlessly whipped by the icy, windblown snow. Unsurprisingly my first instinct was to seek shelter and I assumed correctly that this would also be the natural instinct of the hares. A nearby woodland seemed the logical place in whose margins to shelter and so I tucked myself away, concealed among the spindrift. It only felt like a matter of moments before distant shapes started to appear out of the gloom as it appeared that the hares, en masse, were starting to head for the same protection. This particular hare, upon reaching the shelter of the wooded margins decided to stop and have a wash, right in front of where I lay. Afterwards, as it shook the snow from its paws I fired a burst of frames, catching one image where the hare looks like it is waving, and this one where it looks like its leaning on a walking stick. There was only one stick protruding from the snow anywhere near this hare and by extremely good fortune it ended up right under its paw, an image that began with hard work and a bit of logic but one that would never have come to fruition without good, old-fashioned luck. Because of the walking stick and the hares slightly huddled, snow covered appearance this image is known affectionately as ‘old man hare’.
