Ouch that hurt.
Managed a series of action shots with Brown Hares today.
The white bits floating left of frame are fur after one almighty scuffle.
The female was having none of it and it was quite commical to watch the male creeping up to her rather gingerly only to find that he got a wack for his troubles.

D2X's + 600mm AFS II + 1.4 conv.
1/800 @ f6.3.
ISO: 400
Colour Space Adobe RGB.

:biggrin: Great stuff Major. They are so clumsy. Flying hair is a real bonus. It gives the photograph some extra action.
