The Hare action started late here due to the cold weather and few were to be seen until last week. This fella was only a couple of hundred yards from my house and I managed to get close crawling along the side of a fallen stone wall (through plenty of poo) They are starting to chase each other now so hopefully I'll see a bit of boxing.

Cracking shot - especially like the rim lighting effect at the front
The shot typifies the weather Simon and a 'sterling' image too.

Looking good Simon and like the rim lighting.
Look out for some well trodden paths that Hares follow on a regular basis. Stake one out and with a bit of luck you may get one running towards you.

Major, cheers for the tip. As our local area is made up of open pasture and dry stone walls I find that the hares often run along the base of the walls and climb them where they need to (5-6 feet is no bother). I'm going out first thing to a spot where hopefully this might happen
Cracking shot Simon. He looks as if he's clocked you. I suspect he wasn't around long after this was taken. The rim lighting definitely lifts this one.
