Title: Mountain Hare [winter coat]
Post by: George on March 01, 2012, 09:35:26 am

I was out again on the moor yesterday..

I spotted this Mountain hare up on the moor..

So I parked the car, got my camera and trecked up the hill into the moor, I was circling the Hare when I spotted another one only about 20 feet from me, I managed to get two pictures of it, one pic. was it trying to hide, the other one was after it stopped running..

The other pictures was of the other Hare. I'll show the first Hare first, then the other one..

Trying to hide..

After it ran, it stopped for a look..

How lovely.  I do hope they get their summer coats soon though. :o
