Up close and personal

This was what I was really after Wednesday evening and they didn't let me down. Again, so comfortable with me hiding in plane sight, this uncropped shot was taken from about 4 meters away
You get so close to them! Incredible shot.

Lucky you. I was just in the UK and fascinated by the hares, which I saw several times.

Fabulous close up and detail.

In their eyes you are beginning to just be part of the background, a result probably of your frequent, and benign, trips into their territory.

I love Hares but they run away when they see me!

@shepherdmanswife the trick is to just not move. I have waited for three or more hours just watching them before even taking a photo. Don't try to get close to them as when they are active in either the early morning or late evening, they will move large distances and if you're lucky, they will come very close.
As long as they're feeding, they are comfortable with you but if they look at you, stop shooting and wait until they settle again.
It seems to work well for me and all I use is a camouflage jacket.

@stevejacob thanks Steve. I have hidden in a ditch in camo jacket and trousers and was lucky enough to get one about 5 feet away, but he was too close for my lens! I usually come across them without realising it when I'm dog walking. Then they see us and they're off! I think you need to know where they are so you can plan a stake-out (without dogs!)
