About the event
7pm to 9.30pm, Thursday 21 May 2026
Join the Swindon Group for another fascinating talk by David Bailey - Springwatch Wildlife photographer.
This presentation features high quality images with video snippets. Covering the year in the life of the hare. From autumn when the hares lose their summer residences due to the harvest through the depths of winter. Into the excitement of the chase and boxing from February onwards. Close encounters with leverets, hungry hares and those just enduring a bad hare day! Light-hearted but informative including a quiz.
