2 Mountain Hares.
I was photographing the main hare for about 20 minutes.It wasn't until he got up and moved about 3 feet to the right that I even saw the female tucked up in the vegetation.
I've made an appointment with Specsavers! :biggrin:
Canon 1D Mk11N,500+1.4 canon lens,1/800 f8 and iso400.

Thanks for looking and all comments welcome.
Phil.

Excellent image. With one of the hares it would be good but the fact that there's a second one tucked away in the vegetation puts this up a couple of notches. Having a catchlight in the eye of both hares is an added bonus too. :toast: :toast:

Excellent image all round, just a slight shame about OOF but thats how it was. :toast:

Hi Phil,

Well done for getting so close. I find the OOF foreground a little distracting, but otherwise a superb, sharp, crisp shot.

What a great result. :toast:

The fact there are two takes my eye away from the foreground. :wavey:
