D7000 500mm f4 ISO 320 1/800s at f6.3 handheld with monopod for support.
This particular hare was one of the most confiding I have come across. I spent a total of six hours in its company and it became so used to my presence it actually fell asleep with its back to me less than 10m away. I took over 400 images that day and it was a great feeling having been so close to a wild animal for so long.
Many thanks for the comments on my last post, greatly appreciated.
Nick.

Thanks David & Keith.
No, it didn't eat the grass head and although there is only one in the image there were quite a lot of these on the mountainside so I have decided to leave it in as it is part of its environment. Like Keith intererested to see what others think about it.

I like the way the hare appears to be contemplating the grass flower. A lovely shot, and I really like the colours.
