Oh No Not Again Boys
This is a follow up to my last upload with alittle more action this time. It's a pity the female is in the way, but not a lot I could do about that.

40D,300mm +1.4 t/c, ISO 500, f7.1,1/1600.

Thanks for viewing.

Wow, this is amazing, well dome Fran. Maybe you should call it "dancing lessons" or something. Looks a bit like the highland fling.

Hi Fran
Cracking action, with a little time you could clone the one behind out, it leaves a better shot that is still true to nature.

Nice action shot. I thought the latest theory on boxing was it was female:male not male:male action, a case of clear off mate!

Great action shot! I like it a lot.

Nice shot, well caught action. Yes, Mike is right, it is the female rebuffing the male. Males only chase each other to establish the dominant position - guarding the female.

Nice to have somewhere to get a clear shot at this time of year, proof that hares do this not just in March!

Thanks again all.

Tom I am not angry lol. I just felt it was a shame that the b/g hare was there, 'cos we cant see it's face which is a pity. I could have cloned it out but felt it was part of the scene somehow, and as you say, that's what it's all about. Hope that makes some sort of sense??
