When there is snow, you have to be fast! As I said, it never last.
I have several feeding station that are full of wildlife….

These were taken from a hide placed in opened countryside
Three species of game bird
Passerine came too
Snow, glorious snow
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…

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!
Grey partridge
This morning, I had an incredible encounter with a flock of grey partridge….

Some were sleeping in the meadow, look at the frost on the back of the bird
Some of them were displaying
Look at this male surrounded by female….lucky him! 🙂

Happy new year!
Yesterday (Sunday) I decided to go to my “Hare paradise” It was very fogy. When I arrived there I really thought that I was wasting my time. Well I was wrong!
Every time I go to that place I always get something special. It was an incredible day…….in the fog….

When I arrived at my hare paradise, this is how foggy it was.
I could barely see a hare run…
Sheep were coming out of the fog. they were like ghost
Then, I came across my first hare…
It was very frosty.
Then , I came across another hare
One hare was walking under a fence in the fog…
A great big tree had fallen.
Chinese water deer were there too….I came across this male. he was not afraid and was eating in front of me. About 20 metres away. It was beautiful
Look at his teeth!
Suddenly, out of the mist I came across 15 grey partridge. Usually they would fly away. Well not here. They were feeding 6 metres in front of me. Taken with 70-200mm
This one with the 500mm
