Mountain Hare
British Wildlife Photography Awards 2015
Animal Portraits Highly Commended
I have been photographing mountain hares for many years and they are one of my favourite subjects. I like the challenge winter brings and they look fantastic in their white winter coats. I found this hare resting in his form and he was relaxed enough to allow a close approach.
