Mountain Hare

Mountain Hare
A Mountain Hare in Winter coat ... taken on this day in 2011.

it is too wet to walk on the hills today 2020 .... A black day with heavy rain forecast all day. I reposted this just 1 year ago but it is such a special memory for me her it is again.

The Hare’s change their colour to match the snow to avoid predators which works well if there is any snow but not well at all if it just keeps raining

Sami Serola (inactive), Gabriella Siglinde, Xata, Roger (Grisly) and 10 other people have particularly liked this photo

I would say it is pretty well camouflaged with the dry grass! Really wonderful photo - great memory for you. This reminds me of an art print (I can't remembe the artist right now) - very elegant.

I'd love to have your friend here in my group 'my favorite animals' - if you want.

Thanks yes you are correct about the dry grass working especially if the fur is wet.

It's a great memory I just came across in open moorland. It never moved, I took it's photo and went on the rest of my walk. Returning home 30 or 40 minutes later I was higher on hill above the Hare and I could see yes, it was still in the same place.
