I normally complain if things are too large in the frame, but on this occasion:

WOW!!!

Cracking close up Ian.
If this is the same hare,it's amazing how he's allowed you to move around him so close.He wasn't mesmerised by your stoat dance impression,was he? :biggrin:

Thanks all

Jules/Phil

It was indeed the same hare as last post. We moved very slowly and gingerly on all fours and his eyes never left us. I was at almost minimum focussing distance so cropped a little for emphasis.
