Mountain Hare.
I've not had the pleasure of spending a day in the company of mountain hares for a few years now, but today made up for it.
Wonderful weather, soft light, great clients and magical subjects. #bliss

Mountain Hare.
After spending some time chasing females around the hillsides, this hare descended the slope and sat down near where I was watching from.
It wasn't in the least bothered by my presence, and remained for a moment, soaking up the hint of warmth from the winter sunshine, before ambling off, down the hill further to dig out a form, for a snooze.

Sitting Pretty.
A tiny mountain hare leveret sitting bolt upright, ears raised to listen to every unusual sound it hears. It pays to be ultra cautious when you're this small.
I photographed this gorgeous little character for over an hour on a summer's day, on a hillside in the Scottish Highlands.
Brown when growing up, but white in time for the winter. Incredible creatures.

A mountain hare up high in the #Cairngorms .
Until now I have only shared my mountain landscape images, but around 50% of my professional work is wildlife photography.
So as winter is slowly arriving in the #Scottish hills, I thought I would share something seasonal from a previous year.

68 Munros and this is the first time I have seen a Mountain hare, it was soo foggy I almost stepped on the thing. Shocked how big it was the absolute unit.
