Another cracking morning…Many different species this morning.
Frederic
Of course Hares were there
And Chinese water
Now for the morning surprises…
Grey partridge were feeding in the frozen meadow
Also magpie
And a pied wagtail was looking for food on one frozen puddle
This morning, I was at “my” hare paradise and yet again I could not have gone wrong.
The light was to die for and plenty of subject to photograph…

Sometime everything work perfectly well.
Yesterday morning was one of those morning where you could not go wrong. the weather was incredible, superb light, the subject were there and I was able to talked rubbish to a friend of mine during three hours…what else would you want ?????? 🙂 🙂

I had never seen so many Chinese water deer.
I counted 22 individual!!
Very cold….
The light was to die for…
Of course we had several brown hair…
Beautiful in that frost…
Just been to one of my feeding station. On the way back, I came across three different species of deer. I managed to photograph two. Lovely little deer.
Frederic
First one is the Chinese water deer
This one is the Roe deer. Roe deer is the only native British deer!
On Sunday afternoon, I was back at my “hare paradise”. I came across one eye Joe but could not take any shots of the little tyke. The good news is that all the sheep have been removed.
Now, the grass, flowers will start to grow…I can wait for the weather to get a bit warmer to kick start spring properly…

Cant` beat a good strech.
I have sen this hare before, easely recognisable. he has got a double chin!
I also came accross a Chinese water deer
Before work, Yesterday evening I went to my “Hare paradise”. It was going to be a beautiful sunset. For quite a while now, I have been after a shot . I wanted to photograph a hare running in Front of the sun at eye level. Easy thing to say but not easy thing to do. Well, yesterday I was lucky…But I will have to go back…I am sure that it is possible to do Better! 🙂 it always is…
Frederic
I am a sucker for these kind of pictures
Hare staring at the sun….
It`s always nice to come across Chinese water deer.
Look at the canine of that chap!
Hoar frost is not something I have the chance to photograph often. Well last Sunday I took loads of pictures of hares, Chinese water deer in hoar frost. It was spectacular. Of course I was at my “Hare Paradise” and I had a cracking time with my little friends….

When the sun rises, it is always a battle to find a subject to place in the frame. You need to be very quick as “that” moment does not last very long…maybe 5 minutes at best, after the sun is too high and it`s too late,. This time I was lucky! you need a bit of luck from time to time.. 🙂
The light was gorgeous
I was able to come very close to this one. Taken about 3 metres away with 70-200mm. The sheep in the background were a bonus! 🙂
After a while I came across this chap. A very tame Chinese water deer.
At first he looked at me and then started to graze
He came quite close to me….Beautiful…
I was leaving when I came across this magpie perched on a post.
As I was saying in a previous post , I had an incredible day at my “Hare paradise”. We do not have snow often in this part of the world, so when there is snow, you have to know where to go. It is always a short window, so you have to capitalised on that short opportunities .
I just could not go wrong that day. I photograph everything I wanted to photograph and as a bonus I had some incredible behaviours…
Frederic
The eye of the male (Left) was taking out by the female (Right) while I was there. the male wanted to mate and the female was not too keen! (They never are!)
The male was very persistent
At the end he had his reward.
While photographing hares, I also came across Grey partridge and Chinese water deer.
It was a great day!
Last Thursday , we had a massive hoar frost in Buckinghamshire.
It was A CRACKING morning…It was cold and beautiful. Next best thing would have been snow…
Every time I go to “my” hare paradise , I never know what I am going to come across . It is always a surprise…
Here are a few shots of that incredible morning…
Frederic
I could not find any hare to place in the picture…so I took the picture of a sheep.. 🙂 🙂
Then, I came across Hares…
Male hare running full throttle after a female
Hare and sheep
Hare boxing in hoar frost…
I also came across a Chinese water deer. …
It was a very successful morning to say the least.
While I took some pictures of partridge …I also took pictures of brown hare and Chinese water deer….The meadow was white because of the frost and I had a cracking sunrise.
It`s a shame that we have not got any snow in Bucks. I love snow, it is so photogenic….
Frederic
It was cold!
Chinese water deer at sunrise, Nice ambiance
This is my favourite.
