it's unusual to get one so close. Not a classic hare shot but an interesting encounter all the same. :smile:

Yes they can come so close sometimes when you are standing still, but this one must have been really close - great stuff :toast: :toast:

I quite like the fact the gate is shut as he is peering through great image

Lovely colour and detail...

Things are looking better and better Simon - processing looks fine to me, and as for the proximity of the hare, well, some folk have all the luck :wavey: :wavey:

The only hare I've seen that close was hanging in a larder. Great encounter and well caught.
