\u201cWhile out on my bike, I passed a baby fox rolling around in a field, so I rushed home to get my camera. On my return, the fox had gone, but a hare was in the field opposite, five metres away. I set my camera to quiet mode and started firing the shutter. Amazingly, the hare seemed to take an interest in the shutter noise and headed towards me. I even had to zoom out! It just sat and looked at me while eating.\u201d

\u201cMy friend\u2019s son Harry thought he\u2019d be helpful and feed the cows on our dairy farm, one straw at a time.\u201d

\u201cI saw my first orange-tip butterflies of the season on a sunny afternoon walk. I spotted a well-camouflaged female on some cow parsley and managed to capture the lovely colour of the bluebells in the background.\u201d

<\/p>\n\n

\u201cThe robber fly is a superior predator that spends all day catching insects, but it is docile without sunlight, so early mornings are the best time to photograph it. Occasionally you find one asleep covered in dew, perfect for creating amazing photos.\u201d
