Hare
Not the best of shots I know, but compared to the other Hare shots in my library its a vast improvement.
Taken a couple of days ago whilst chauffeuring Philh and Brett around the Norfolk countryside. This guy appeared while we were waiting for a barn owl to turn up.

Nikon D3
Nikon 300mm f2.8 + 1.7tc
iso 1600
500th sec
f2.8

I certainly wouldn't be disappointed with this shot. It would be marginally better if he were looking away from the tall grass rather than towards it, but we always wish for better - we don't always get it.

Did the owl turn up? :toast:

Just back from lunch, having heard all about your adventures from Brett. Nice shot, I'd certainly be pleased with it.
