The hillside had been lightly grazed, so the hare had less cover to hide in. Even so, if the evening light hadn't accentuated the hare's colour, I might not have seen it as I drove past. Clearly, it was enjoying the warmth, as several photographs show it with its eyes half closed. It seemed unperturbed, even when I got out of the car and crossed the road for a slightly closer photograph.

Rather like Durer's Hare. Very self-possessed.
Zhoen — well spotted. It does look a lot like Durer's hare.
You were lucky to get such a clear shot of a hare in repose - it must have been very soporific, Pete.
Avus, it seemed very content to bask in the evening sun. To be honest, I'd have liked it to have eventually done something more interesting than just sitting there half asleep.
