He was not amused by my prescence.I think the look says it all.

Major.

I never cease to be amazed by the expressive faces of hares, 'not amused' sums it up nicely.

David

Thats not the look of love . Some lump of glass out front so well done in getting the techs bang on .

Hi Major

looks to be on the money to me, dont look amused

Different approach on a Hare. Very nice.
JR

I like it as it's different and shows just how they can almost make themselves disappear. Nicely done Major, good light.

Brett

Great to see, how the hare merges into the environment. Very nice shot.

Nice to see a shot of a Hare laying in his form, very smart image Major.

Andy...

Gorgeous light on this one Major. Perhaps the expression does convey unease, however I am still amazed to how close you get, even with that 'lump of glass'.

Steve

very nice Major, I particularly like the warm lighting. It's impressive how well they flatten themselves into the terrain, no wonder I never spot them

Matt

Very nice, and very different too. the hare could all most be invisible. Nice Light, and love the expression.


Mark.G

Great behavioural shot. Excellent POV. He'll have to brush up on his camouflage technique if he wants to remain 'off camera'

Hi Major, well seen and the Hare blends in very well.

Pose is brilliant central composition suits the image really well Major

Great shot, Major - they're a devil to spot on ploughed fields, aren't they!

Simon

Great pov and expression, also very some very nice light.

Hi Major,
Another good quality hare image to add to your impressive collection.

There's no two ways about it Major - you're still the number one hare man in my eyes

Cracking image - nothing more to say

Lovely shot, hard to get. Did you walk/crawl right up the centre line?

This was in a vehicle Tom. It does make a good hide at times and providing you do it right Mr Hare will put up with it.
I visit and watch Hares as much as possible that way they get used to the vehicle.
I probably said it before I do actually talk to them as well even when they run away. I may be wrong but after a while I think they then dont see me as a threat and are more tolerant. At certain times of the year and can shout at them and they dont bother.

Major.

So thats why I can never spot them in a field. Shows how well these animals can camouflage themselves.

Great Shot Major.

Paul
