Winter Solstice - 21st December The Winter solstice is the shortest day of the year. Considered to be the new year, this celebration marks the return of the sun as the days grow in length Yule by Adam Browning, on Flickr

Thank you very much for your comments! I haven't seen it... Lol. I wasn't after the empty sky but it works for me. Everything else fell into place, the position of the tide etc. So I can't complain!

I try to avoid using f/13...

I think early in the morning they should be quite active. Then go into hiding for the duration of the day before coming out again for the evening.

I spent ages looking for hares at sunset. Then one morning after photographing a sunrise I was exploring and found a field full of them in Walton on the Naze. From what I understand they like arable fields, and sunrise is probably your best hope.

I visited the Peak District earlier this year, but I stayed the weekend. I caught a sunset at Curbar, and it has some great views. The highlight of my trip was a sunrise at Mam Tor.

Thank you all for your help!
