I'd been past this field on a few occasions recently, hoping to find a hare to photograph amongst the Buttercups. I found one this evening. Unfortunately the light had faded.

" A 3/4 grown Hare who was in such a rush to be somewhere else he ran straight into the feeder stream that supplies the marsh with fresh water.... he did make it safely across the marsh but he was going have a long day cleaning himself :-/ "

A selection from my summer archives when I couldn't get on the internet due to my house move, these are bringing back some happy memories of my summer evening sessions with the hares.

Still rummaging through my summer shots, brings back memories of my encounters with the Brown Hare.

When you go out past Kilchoan, towards Sanna on the most westerly edge of Ardnamurchan you enter a very remote, dark and barren land of mountain, moor and bog. The volcanic rock is largely black, but everywhere the dark rock split with patches of white where white quartz has bled through the molten rocks. Seeing this prompted me to look for mountain hares in their winter garb. After all the landscape would appear to be ideal habitat for them, although a large eagle population might cull their numbers. Yet, I haven't seen one so far (this is an old picture from Manchester days). There are some over towards the east in the Cairngorms ( I last saw one near Glendoebeg) but none I am aware of in Ardnamurchan. I wonder if they could be re-introduced in Ardnamurchan?
