I hope you've enjoyed these photos. I am very sorry to announce that they might be the last ones you see for a very long while as my camera's lense has just died by -11°C.
So that's all folks!

Lördag 5 december 2009 - Arctic Hare?
2 commentsI believe I was mistaken. This little guy could not possibly be an arctic hare Lepus arcticus. The arctic hare's natural habitat covers Greenland and North America.
My supposition is that he may have in fact been a montain hare Lepus timidus:

They certainly look very much alike to the untrained eye!
A few facts I found on the WWF website about arctic hares:
The arctic hare lives in the arctic tundra of the Arctic islands, western Newfoundland, and the coastal regions of Greenland -- where ice is not present -- and a portion of northern Manitoba, along Hudson Bay. The arctic hare's diet includes woody plants, mosses, and lichens in winter; in other seasons, buds, berries, leaves, roots, and bark. It faces threats from habitat loss and climate change. The hare averages one to two litters per year, with an average litter size of five to six. Gestation is approximately 53 days.
You can adopt arctic hares (and other species) on the website. So help WWF!

Onsdag 1 december 2009 - Polar hare
0 commentsToday when I came back shopping, I saw this little guy resting under the outdoor bench. I wonder what he might be doing in this area.
I tried feeding him some Wasa, but didn't seem to be very enthusiastic about it (the magpies were though).
