I’m so pleased that this capture was sharp considering how it happened. Barrie Courtney and I originally set out for water voles and changed our minds after an hour and went for Hares instead.
We found them quite quickly and I maneuvered my car for Barrie to get the first shot but the fight went on for so long and was so good I could not resist grabbing my camera which is pointing out the opposite window hand holding it over Barrie’s shoulder and started blazing away, we were both laughing our arses off. To my amazement most were sharp; still you have to be lucky sometime.
Thanks for looking

Sometimes everything all comes together. Well done.
When you go out in two,s one of you is supposed to sit in the back same side. You look and feel a bit of a wholly but who cares.
