Mountain Hare - Lepus timidus
Canon 300mm f3.2 for 1/1600th @ iso500
A Mountain Hare in it's summer coat - the colour of the Hares do vary greatly in the summer with varying shades of colour - whilst in the winter the coat is just white
Not a great colour for the Hare when the snows don't arrive and make them a very obvious target for the Golden Eagles who hunt in and around the valley.
