Writes photographer Andy Smith:
“I captured this swimming hare last Friday, something I’ve never witnessed before. The hare was outside the hide and a group of volunteer newt collectors were working their way down the field collecting newts from the the traps that were sunk into the ground. The hare, seeing them, panicked and ran backwards and forward not knowing which way to go. On reaching the waters edge it suddenly just jumped in and disappeared into the reeds. I followed the splashes and the movement of the reeds then it came into view in a gap where I managed to fire a burst of shots. It then clambered out of the water and with great speed disappeared from view.”
