European brown hare, Lepus europaeus, single hare on field, Warwickshire, May 2017. Olympus Em1 MK2. 1600 iso/ 1/250th at f6.3. 300mm f4 lens.

I have been lying down from 18:00 hours to 20:00 hours in my favourite hare field. The field has little vegetation growing as it was recently harrowed and has a nice ridge in the middle of it that the hares often run along. When you lie flat on the ground they take no notice of you and come very close. It is just very uncomfortable and two hours is my limit unless I am in a hide and can turn onto my back from time to time.
