Well done on getting close - I've spotted one locally in the middle of some fields, but it's off as soon as it hears the crunch of snow underfoot :frown:

Yes I am afraid that is what usually happens Nick.
To add insult to injury I had two do that together this afternoon.

That's another beautiful shot major. You must have the most amazing hare portfolio by now. I can never help feeling sorry for hares when the snow comes down. all they can do is sit out in it for days on end - no nice warm burrow; still they are obviously built for it. :toast: Eric

Two great shots by the unrivalled hare master. Can't make up my mind which I prefer most.

Really cracking for 1/80 sec at ISO640. Really brightened my day yesterday seeing it at Corley Services on the way back from Wales.

Smashing composition, lovely snow and pose (without ears!).
