Great shots MJ, i really like the 2nd one. The colour of the soil is a nice change to grass & works very well.

Hello Michael

Great Shots, is this an Irish Hare by this I mean a Mountain Hare which doesn't turn white in the winter.

Great shot, just needs a white balance adjustment a slight magenta cast.

Cheers for the feedback folks and help,

It was pure dumb luck I got these shots. I had seen a few hares boxing in the distance some time before hand. However, my main target at this site was ravens. I was sitting on the ground at a field entrance getting my gear setup and this guy literally walks up to me. Danny as far as I know this is the Irish Hare (Lepus timidus hibernicus). Tim cheers for clearing up the colour cast. MJ :smile:
