protective - hare

taken early this morning of a hare from a recently cut grass field, i saw this hare and decided to move closer in order to get a better shot, the hare saw me, watched me and became very aggitated, running around in circles and eventually went back to the starting point, it was only when i got closer that i could see her/his leverette (youngster) - can you see it, the whole process of getting closer took over 20 minutes of stealth crawling/moving but was well worth the effort as i took a wonderful series of pics, including mum and youngster being bemused, a series of antics, before going for leather in the opposite direction

Well done Jeff. I can just see the leverette looking the other way
I gave up on Hares this year! Did bunnies instead !

Hi Jeff,

Very nice. I hope they weren't too agitated. It is a little central and square for my taste, but the image quality looks good.

Cheers,

Nits covered by Lewis - good use of fieldcraft.

Nits already covered, but still your best hare shot to date.
