Fox food
Young rabbits being stalked by red fox is a scene I've witnessed on several occasions but still not managed to capture - this year, maybe?
In the meantime this capture shows how I failed to remain undetected thus eliciting a threatened response from the animal - poor field craft resulted in natural behaviour being captured.

Cheers,
Chris

very nice. I find the light green on the right a little bright but still a lovely shot. The alert pose is great.

Just the right amount of mush here, the rabbits face is nice and clear, I like it, another of those pictures that I think would look nice on a mag cover.

Cheers

Very nice. I love this style of image showing the contrast between sharp subject and totally diffuse surroundings. The alert pose is fab too.
