I found this lttle guy on the Swedish island Öland. It was on the sount part of island on the little dusty road. This little guy was hunting or trying to scared a way two crows. I have never seen this kind of behavior before. Bunny was really scared and I guess he was protecting his young or something else? People from island have reported strange of crows this year. It is loot of sheep's on the island and crows sometimes attacked new born lambs damaging and eating their eyes.
Captured from a car with 5D @ 800mm. It was in the end of day and resting my arm on the cars door.

Beautiful image. Wonderful pose of the bunny. He seems to have an eye on you :)
Composition, lighting and exposure are spot on. Very well done Ralf. Best regards, Harry

Hello Ralf,
At first, this picture puts a big smile on my face and then I read your notes and I was horrified by this story of Crows eating eyes of the new born lambs... What is that?

Anyway, this is a beautiful capture of this cute fellow. I like the way it is peeking out from the grass and this pose you captured. Details and exposure is spot on. This is very well done for an almost "handheld" shot. You must have good stability. Thanks,
Claudine

( In regard of the lens I beleive that I will go with the 500mm and a 1.4 .You had made my decision difficult with all the beautiful picture that you have been posting and done with your 400 )

Hej Ralf,
A real beauty!
Nice to be able to take a shot like this one from the car window, otherwise hares are difficult to approach.
Superb sharpness and lighting.
TFS,
Hälsningar, Ivan

Ja, nu är det mest insekter, det är svårt med fåglar.

Hej Ralf,
You must have been quick in catching this one! (Did you catch him by the ears, they look incredibly long!) :-)
Joking apart, it is an excellent shot in beautiful light of this hare which only occurs in the southern half of Sweden. I like its pose and details are very sharp and the colours beautiful.
Many thanks, Ulla

Hi Ralf,
Great capture of this cute animal. I think I can see the fear in here eyes. She does not look so happy but very alert.
