Hi,

A long time since I posted.... here is one from this weekend, probably the second time we have picked up the cameras for roughly two months, but its nearly time for the hares to get frisky, one thing and another we both have a very busy month so taking the opportunities whilst we can.

Still trying to catch up, some great stuff posted recently...

A great and seldom seen type image showing environmental and behavioural characteristics.

Very nice hare image, would be tempted to lose a bit of the bottom.

Hi Phil, good detail & colour, was the hare caught in mid preening, or just camera shy? :wink: Think it could stand with a tad off the bottom.

So that's what was going on when I couldn't see it. A fabulous shot, Phil, obviously due to the shoulder you were leaning on.

Again this reminds me of Albrecht Durer's 'A Young Hare' (1502) for some reason, it must be the grass. Excellent.

I think this one works well as the eye is so central. Their eyes are the first thing that catches my attention and this one is bang in the middle on the upper thirds line which does the job for me. :toast:
