Mountain Hare
1D2n, 600mm f4 is, 1/1600s, f4, iso 400

I went out for a day with Neil McIntyre stalking mountain hare, having never seen one before. I spent nearly as much time laughing as I did taking shots. It was blowing a gale, and the hares were all hunkering down behind rocks or in snow hollows. I certainly saw a few white bums disappearing over the horizon. I think this image sums up my day, which I will remember for a long time!
