Brown hare
The hares at my local site are very cooperative at last, but the trouble now is that the grass is growing up and it is getting difficult to get one unobscured, as this shot shows. The grass in the foreground is the biggest problem, and it is essential to shoot wide open.

Thanks for looking.

Grass should be banned on all continents along with nettles ;)

Big one worth a look, much better definition in it. More of these fellows showing here too.

Lovely shot David and like how the back of the Hare follows the lines of the BG.

greetings,

Missed this earlier for some reason.
I would darken the lower part including the lower legs.
Fine image whatever.
