A hare is pictured in hare-larious pose. A photographer spent so long trying to get close to a hare to take it's picture the mammal ended up falling asleep. The hare was spotted in South Powys, Wales, on a private estate, by firefighter, Thomas Winstone, 43 of Gwent said, "I was watching the a pair of hares for some 4 hours that day. One of them I just couldn't approach, however this one took me an hour of belly crawling 150 metres to managed to gain its trust and it knew I wasn't a threat." "It's not like going on a guided photography workshop, where things are setup for you, here I had to do my own research and leg work, failing numerous times. In total I've put in over 20 hours looking to photograph hares which is probably mostly down to Wales having a small population of brown hares, due to coursing and agricultural practices." "Hares will typically bask in the sun, but probably watching me from 150m away going so slowly got it a little bored. I'm sure at one point he might have even fallen asleep. I was thinking after six sessions up there, the effort of walking the steep fields it was about time my luck changed. I had got to know they're patterns and routines through watching and trying to photograph them, knowing also the geography of the land all helped in my stalking this hare." "I was so happy to have got this close. I think hares are wonderful creatures, it made me laugh to think I may have bored it so much it actually yawned! What are the odds, it certainly isn't something you see every day." NOTE: Thomas had permission from land owner to be on the private estate to take the photo.
