One of Scotland’s fastest land mammals - the brown hare! 🐇

In early spring, particularly March, you might spot them ‘boxing’ in grassy fields near woodlands or hedgerows. 👀

Boxing hares are usually female hares throwing punches to fend off persistent male suitors!

Cropped photo of a young grey seal resting on a sandy beach, taken with a zoom lens from a safe distance. The seal is lying on its side, with its head and rear flippers lifted slightly from the ground. Its pale coat is speckled with small grey spots.

Seal pupping season is kicking off! 🦭

If you’re near the coast at this time of year, make sure to keep your distance - stay at least 100m back and keep dogs on short leads. A camera zoom or binoculars give the best close-up! 📷
