There have been some young Hares congregating in one particular field where I often walk. I got up early yesterday and got some fun shots of them running on the hard frost and checked out the area for a shoot today.
This morning I decided to wait for the sun to come and give me some light on the field. There is a path that runs along the east side of the field with a high hedge on east side of the path and low hedge on the field side.
It was perfect as I crept along the path trying not to make any noise. The sun was behind me, and the high hedge made me almost invisible to the Hares.
Before I had even set up the tripod two of the Hares came charging past me only a few feet away. I knew this was going to be a great shoot.
I spent about an hour watching the Hares running about the field. It was like watching a group of young boisterous boys playing. There was lots of chasing and jumping but no boxing today. They were definitely not bothered by me and one came over and sat only a few feet in front of me.
A couple of them sat grooming for some time, which was lovely to watch. After an hour I was freezing as I was in the shade and had been standing still.
I am having some of my equipment repaired now so it may be a couple of weeks before my next blog.
