Great low angle Major, the eye level perspective makes all the difference. Colours look a little washed out on my monitor, but that could be the lighting hence a 60th sec.

The mush at the bottom and background at the top frame it very nicely. Very minor nit as Andy said, but still super image.

Looks fine to me, a hare doing what they do most often. Well done for finding one in a relatively open position.

Colours look spot on to me. that's a lovely shot major. I have photographed hares before, but never noticed the white markings in the past. Mine are the same here, is it a general thing or age or sex related do you know. I can't decide whether I've just never noticed or it is more pronounced this year. I bet you could identify individuals from the white markings. eric

Tis a cracking shot and oh so close .The detail is superb .Hats off to you Major another fine example of field craft at its best.

Eric Hares generally moult in Spring and Autumn. What you see here is a transion between the two as far as I can see.I am sure it would be possible to identify individuals not just from white markings but other features as well as. Bit like Whooper Swans. This one was a lovely marked individual.
Beautiful markings on it. I'd wondered if it was a northern thing as almost all the other hare shots I've seen posted don't show much facial marking - esp. with white & black lines, whereas most of our local hares are marked. Obviously isn't 'local' as you've got 'em too .
Did he sit tight for long?

Every now and then you come across one that doesnt do the norm and run at the slightest noise.
This was one such animal. AQs the seasom progresses hopefully more and more will be like this.
This is definately a Norfolk Hare Nick so no signs of Northern in this one.

Would appear I was wrong about the colours looking washed out, smart image Major.
