Something a bit different today, this is an Indian or Black-naped Hare – Lepus nigricollis seen and photographed recently in Sri Lanka in the North Western province at Wilpattu National Park. This is an interesting animal  and seen on a few occasions during the jeep safari. A bit about the safari, this was a frustrating affair really with distant views of animals and birds that made photography quite difficult as the jeep needed to stick rigidly to the tracks and roads through the park. For example,  we sighted Mugger Crocodile in the distance and one took a bird as we watched, probably a stork or heron but we could have done with being much, much closer to record what would have been some brilliant footage and photgraphs but from the distance this was impossible.
