Nibbling on some heather, during a workshop I was running for photographing these wonderful creatures.

A mountain hare on a hillside, from a great day out with a friend last week.

Mountain Hare

From a great few hours spent watching and admiring this obliging individual on the hills of the Scottish Highlands.

They have such beautiful eyes.

Hey There!

A mountain hare waves at us from its form, on a snowy hillside in the Scottish Highlands.

Mountain Hare

Sitting in a form it had dug out of the deep snow. The snow gathering on its pelage shows just how well insulated it is.

Yawning.

They don't do a great deal during the day, at this time of the year, so seeing one do this, is a good thing.

A habitat shot of one, from a workshop this past week. She chose a fantastic form to settle in for us to photograph her.

She posed beautifully for us today. From a lovely, unseasonably still day here in the Scottish Highlands. Gorgeous creature.
