Hi,

We all seem to after the definative 'Boxing Hare' image at the moment... 14gigs and I haven't got it.....

Saturday I had given up and was heading home when I spotted the female, sat there watching with the 2x attached as I thought I was only going to get images of a lone animal...

After a while the male 'Bent Ear' snook out from a shallow ditch and tried his luck with no success... I was overgunned for much of the following action.

All the best

Phil

Well instead of boxing you got wrestling Phil. Not much difference

Good looking twosome.

Excellent shot Phil. So difficult to get clear shots of hares with both faces in sharp focus. P.s. Shame you were over-gunned for the rest of it. Am interested to read you used a 2x converter. As a rule I have never used one as I find the focussing is too slow and the little critters seems to know you have one on and run too close!
