Evening Hare
I've been after these for a while - Hares that are local to me !

I've been told that in the past they had sadly suffered from coursing and lamping, but numbers are recovering which means I don't have to drive for hours to find them anymore.

Taken yesterday evening - 30% crop.

Shooting Mode Aperture-Priority AE
Tv( Shutter Speed ) 1/400
Av( Aperture Value ) 5.6
Metering Mode Evaluative Metering
Exposure Compensation 0
ISO Speed 400
Lens EF500mm f/4L IS USM +1.4x
Focal Length 700.0mm

Great pose, he looks quite downcast! It's nice to see them doing something in an image. It seems to have a very slight magenta cast on here.
