These running hares reminded me of one of my best-selling paintings, 'Hares on The Run'.
The lead hare is a female with the males running enthusiastically after them.
She runs to test their strength. Eventually she will mate with the fastest and fittest.It is amazing to see the hares expend so much energy courting when many animals are struggling just to survive in these harsh conditions.
They have had to resort to eating twigs and bark on the hedges, though.
