From video: How I Use A Thermal Monocular To Film Young Hares | My Camera Equipment | Robert E Fuller
Published: March 5, 2026
Video Description
Thermal technology has transformed the way I film wildlife
It used it take me hours to find the secret places hares hide their babies, but with a thermal monocular it takes a matter of minutes. And I'm using it during the day, as well as at night.
#ad This HIKMICRO Falcon FQ50 2.0 from South West Optics was designed for spotting animals at night - but I actually find it really useful for locating animals in the day. Watch how I used it to get spectacular footage of baby hares, known as leverets.

*ABOUT THIS FILM*
____________________
Hares are deeply secretive animals. They hide their young in long grasses to keep them safe from predators and only visit them at night. I have set up security cameras to track a hare as she visits her youngsters at night, but when I return to the spot in the day the leverets are so well camouflaged it is virtually impossible to see them with the naked eye - even when you know where to look.
But the HIKMICRO Falcon Hand Held Thermal Imager Monocular, which fits snugly into my pocket, traces an animal's heat signature which means I can use it to locate the exact hiding places of these adorable animals within minutes - giving me more daylight hours to film these magical creatures.
