Mountain Hare

A tough day of walking on really difficult terrain on the high moors of the Peak District led myself and friend and fellow photographer Neil Shaw to some iconic Mountain Hares.We had to work extremely hard in order to get close enough to capture some images as these are extremely nervous and shy animals , but it was a wonderfully rewarding day and experience.

This Hare is transitioning from its white winter coat into the brown summer coat and I was able to crawl to within a few yards before he bolted.
