great stuff Jeff, better than my effort from an earlier post
I know just how frustrating and yet addictive photographing Hares can be !.
Have you seen much 'Boxing' yet this year ?.

That's great and really shows those long legs. Nice light on it too., Looks different to the 'East of England' hares for some reason.

There's a lot of dead time waiting for these guys so when they do come past like this and you catch the action it's so rewarding. Congratulations would love to have one like this in my collection.

That is the shot I have been after for three weeks. I think it is just about the best shot you have ever posted and I love it. The dew, the early morning light, nice and sharp, the colours in the grass, the comp; all spot on for me. Is that really iso 2500?? :eek:
