I don't expect to see hares in woodland. In my experience they are animals of open country - Kent marshes, Sussex and Wessex downland. This one came out into the ride from a minor path on the left. Noticing me, it ran off a short distance, then paused. At that point, a rabbit would have dived into cover. It was plain that the hare could hear the focus signal from my camera, and after a couple of shots it ran off along the ride.
