Irish Hare early morning, County Mayo, West of Ireland
I lay in a wet field hoping it would come nearer to me. Hares are found throughout the world in a wide range of habitats. The Irish hare belongs to the species mountain hare Lepus timidus of which there are at least sixteen subspecies, the Irish hare being endemic to Ireland. Lepus timidus is widespread ranging from 75ºN (north Russia and Scandinavia) southwards to 40–50ºN. In Europe, Lepus timidus is found in Scotland, northern England, Scandinavia and in the European Alps.

Great Reed Warbler (Acrocephalus arundinaceus )
The thrush-sized warbler is one of the largest species of the former family, the Old World warblers and it stands as one of the largest species in the family Acrocephalidae. It measures 16–21 cm (6.3–8.3 in) in length, 25 to 30 cm (9.8 to 11.8 in) in wingspan and weighs 22 to 38 g (0.78 to 1.34 oz). The adult has unstreaked brown upperparts and dull buffish-white chin and underparts. The forehead is flattened, and the bill is strong and pointed. It looks very much like a giant Eurasian reed warbler (A. scirpaceus ), but with a stronger supercilium.
The sexes are identical, as with most old world warblers, but young birds are richer buff below.
The warbler's song is very loud and far-carrying and beautiful to listen to. The song's main phrase is a chattering and creaking carr-carr-cree-cree-cree-jet-jet, to which the whistles and vocal mimicry typical of marsh warblers are added.

Sunrise Sleepy Dalmation Pelican, Greece
A truly magical morning. Up early for the sunrise on a boat. The sun rose and graced me with its welcome presence as it lit up the lake with its gold hue while the spider web on the top of the tree cast a tapestry of woven gold. The joys of photography.
