Brown Hare, getting there

[leeperry]

Took your advice Trev, re watching the hares habits.
I seen it a couple times(from afar) going up and down this old drovers track,

feeding on the verges.

.So I got up early to set myself up for the best position, but not early enough. I was on the wrong side of the track when the Hare appeared and was shooting into the sun slightly.

Well done Gary. Going to have a go at mine tomorrow morning, get in position before sunrise, I've been watching them for a few days now. I got two positions one for mornings the other for evenings - morning sun, evening sun!
A lot of wildlife are creatures of habit, they go the same way at the same time. This is where leaving the camera home pays off - watch, take notes, work out a plan of approach - then set yourself up with the camera. So many people are into wildlife photography these days, but have not got a clue about the creatures they are targeting, their, habits, life style etc. Some don't even know what they are photographing.
I always say, I'm a naturalist first a photographer second.

Well done for the capture. Trev is right about Hares being creatures of habit, they will stay in an area for quite some time, always good to keep returning to where you have seen them and waiting
