Mountain Hare
Here's one from my trip to Scotland last week, Very hard to get near to these beauties, this is about a 30% crop.
Hope you like it.

Very nice.

They rarely look into the lens. Well...they don't have to really - they see you anyway.

Still very nice to see this hare in it's environment. Well done for getting this close.

Hi Brian, from personal experience I know how hard it is to even see this animal let alone photograph it. Well done. :toast:

Well cought Brian, works fine for me.
Sorry this question, when you say 30% crop, do you mean 30% from 100 or 70%

Thanks everyone, It was really nice. Bertl I mean that I've cropped about 30% of the picture off for composition. It really was quite close.
