Thread: Weird hare behaviour

Funniest thing I ever saw a hare do. It was out in the middle of a paddock with a magpie, they would stare each other down for a bit and the hare would dart in towards the magpie. The magpie would take off and start dive bombing the hare, which would respond by standing on it's hind legs and boxing at it. Then the magpie would land, they'd do the stare down thing and away they went again... Watched them go through this about 5 times. This was in the paddock outside my house, many many magpies and hares shot from the lounge window but those two got left alone that day.

Magpie might have been having a crack at its Leveret’s.
