Mountain Hare - Lepus timidus - Cairngorms
Canon 300mm f7.1 for 12500th @ iso400

The Mountain Hare in it's summer "coat" looking a very different animal than when in it's winter coat.

The hares go through a series of colour changes almost being piebald in some cases.

A short series of photographs of the different colour stages of the Mountain Hare can be seen here
