Up at the crack this morning to catch this fellow. I called him in, impersonating a distressed rabbit. Unedited.

Talking about camouflage! See how well it is adapted to the surrounding colors.
Despite being predated byIberian lynxes and volves, it is not a threatened species –though bugged by parasites.
Thank you for sharing your brilliant morning moments!

Their camoflage is absolutely perfect for the environment. I didn't know about their predators, every day a school day.

Foxes at home in the UK have no natural predators and have become overpopulated, causing them to take to urban areas where they have become far too comfortable. My ability to call them in did not come from photography .

It's the reverse of whistling. Suck your breath in through almost closed lips. When it sounds like a distressed rabbit, you've mastered the art.

Trust me, it works.
