Mountain Hare
We had to climb to the very top of Carn Corie Easgarbath in the Cairngorms, Scotland, on an extremely windy day to see this Mountain Hare. Mountain Hares can run at 45mph but this one was, fortunately. comfortable with our presence and allowed my guide, James. and myself to move to 3 different positions to photograph it. Seeing this beautiful Mountain Hare (my first), albeit in its summer pelage, hunkered down in its scrape and watching its nose twitch as it watched us, was a most rewarding experience. It was still there when we crept away.
