Cool. Great to watch the bunnies and hares together. My favourite place also has the pheasants in there so it's just a big mish mash of activity.

It's just patience I think. Said that before. They can be inquisitive but it can take some time for them to get there. Took 2 hours today watching them and everything going on in the field before anything came close. Still, a nice way to spend a couple of hours and when was starts running up to you it's a "hold your breath" moment lol.

Unusual for them to hang about, these two were from the last two trips.

They are normally so far away, but these were almost on the path.

Nice angle on the Jersey, Snappy, and I like the wing blur on the hawkmoth 👍

Thanks PB. Glad I remembered to go mechanical shutter for the hbhm, made a right mess of my previous attempt...
