Barn Owl, Norfolk
This bird is certainly a gift that keeps giving.
I was surprised to see her out much earlier in the afternoon than normal. The light was a bit harsh but the Autumnal leaves on the trees softened it as came through to give a backlight effect.

A throwback to November last year of this Barn Owl hunting in the evening sunshine.
No confirmed sightings of her yet this year. Live in hope.
Brown Hare, Norfolk.
Surprisingly I managed to drag my unfit body along the track towards this hare as it was munching supper. Every time it heard my movement it would pop its head and ears up. Once it was back down feeding, I would crawl another yard. It was stop/start until I was in a good shooting range.
Not an original pose but love being low and using the long grass to my advantage.

A simple portrait but very happy with it. Came close and the morning light was lovely.
Juvenile female Kingfisher, Norfolk.
Over the moon to capture my first Norfolk Kingy since 2018, over 5 years ago.
Having been told of this location, I placed this stick in hope of photographing a kingfisher. After three attempts and seeing a kingfisher, one of at least two in this location, land on this perch I decided to approach in a completely different way to my norm.
This bird, or birds, seemed to sense my presence before I even sat down and were very flighty. A change of tact was needed. Out came my controller and receiver which had been sitting in my bag unused for at least 3 years. New batteries and a quick test and all was in order.
Set up the camera/receiver on a tripod in a location to give me a clean background and good seperation of the subject. Focused on the perch. Set camera to AV at f/8 and a quick test gave me 1/100 and an ISO of 800 which I maxed it to on an auto setting. Experience told me 1/100 would be enough to get a portrait or two but nowhere enough for any action shots. I hid myself up the bank and waited.
About 45 minutes later the Kingy obliged and landed on said perch. Guessing when to press the shutter controller to hopefully obtain some usable images.
The bird stayed on the perch for about 5 minutes and a couple of successful dives in between.
Hoping to get more images over the few weeks so stay tuned.
Brown Hare, Norfolk.
If you have dropped by to see something other than Hare images then you will be a bit disappointed.
While I have photographed other subjects, including at least 5 barn owls this year, none of the images are to any standard,
I have managed a few action shots but my best boxing images have the hares with back towards me rather than side on. I will just keep on plugging away once the rain ceases.

Brown Hare Leveret, Norfolk.
A lovely young hare in the glow of the evening Golden Hour which have been very few and far between lately.

A close up of this hare, not blowing a raspberry but using his tongue to scent. Always good to get something slightly different from the standard pose.

"Welcome to The Chase. The Chase is on"
Approaching the last week in January and seeing sporadic chases occurring briefly in various areas.
Plenty of patience is needed and luck plays a great part with these chases for them to come close enough for me to obtain the results I would like, with the pinnacle being the boxing shot.
Barn Owl, Norfolk.
A close up fly by of this lovely female barn owl after she had just captured a vole.
Brown Hare, Norfolk.
A cold day spent in the field but a good selection of hare shots eventually including this running hare portrait.
Brown Hare, Norfolk
Another hare image. I feel at the moment I am just a "one trick pony" with regards to getting nothing but hare images. I did see a stoat this evening but unfortunately went in the opposite direction. It is unusual to go so long without photographing other subjects even when targeting hares.
Brown Hare, Norfolk.
My first proper head on shot of this year, a shot I favour.
Some interaction shots is what I am ultimately after but can never refuse what is served up. The joys of wildlife photography.
Barn Owl, Norfolk
An image from November last year of this lady with a meal.
Still no confirmed sightings of her this year but others in the same area.
Brown Hare, Norfolk.
A new location for this year recently.
The morning light was just starting to shine through and the frost still remained.
An area which I done well in last year and just up the road from work when I finish a nightshift.
