Eurasian curlew frightens hare too close to its nest

This is the moment a Eurasian curlew frightens a hare as it wanders too close to its nest.

James Wellock, 49, caught the video on a wildlife camera which is placed in one of his fields.

The footage shows the hare standing just inches away from the endangered bird before it spooks the mammal by poking its beak into its belly causing it to jump a metre into the air.

The curlew then gives off a mighty squeal warning the hare not to return.
