Mountain Hare - Lepus timidus
Canon 100 to 400mm Mk2 @ 349mm f6.3 for 1/2500th @ iso400
Heading south from Inverness, a quick stop to photograph Mountain Hare for an hour or so before heading back to the A9 and south.
Margaret had left her car in a layby outside of the village and we headed down through the valley. Snow was falling as we made our way down the road and we arrived at our chosen location, making a quick change into waterproofs and boots before walking up into the hills.
Just after putting my foot onto what I thought was solid snow only to find out it was a fine layer of snow covering a frozen stream of water that had run off the hillside and finding myself suddenly sitting down on the snow, I had just picked myself up when this hare ran past us both.
