Mountain Hares!

10 Mar - My birthday present to myself - a day photographing Mountain Hares in the Peak District with wildlife photo professional Tesni Ward - and a great day it was. Early fog on Bleaklow cleared to cloudy but bright conditions, ideal for the white coats of the Hares as against full sun. Some animals were quite approachable, others very wary, and their colouration varied from fawn/brown to mainly white - when they stood out against the (non-snowy) landscape. Some reasonable images obtained, in a variety of settings, and Tes is a fun and enthusiastic guide www.tesniward.co.uk. Also Golden Plover and Red Grouse on the moors. A very worthwhile day.
