Taken behind where I live at Buckenham.
Short description
The grace and beauty of the brown hare, Lepus europaeus, have become symbolic of the British countryside. After the long winter months there can be few sights more uplifting to the human spirit than the spring-time boxing antics of these delightful creatures.
But the brown hare has become increasingly rare, especially in western regions. It is second only to the water vole as the British mammal which has shown the greatest decline during the past century.

Wonderful clarity Ian, dof spot on. Composition and pose excellent.

All about the senses, eyes, ears, nose all acute. This really is an insight into the natural world.
Moira
An amazing capture Ian, right down to the dew on the grass!

I had to come back here. I don't often get excited by wildlife shots here, so much work seems to be concerned with technical precision rather than real truth about the natural world. Here's one where technical precision actually conveys truth. We're seeing the hare's experience of life, through its incredibly acute senses. Four attempts at editing this comment, I hope it makes sense now.

Thank you very much everyone for your comments and votes.
Thank you very much for the Award Moira you are very kind, and kinder still with your words I am humbled.
Ian.
Thank you Peter and Ade for your comments and votes, got to say Peter there seems to be quite a few there at the moment but your right it's easy to see them but quite another to sneak up on them if not impossible, it's a patients game and lying down to wait for them to come close enough to you.
