I promised a painting of a group of mountain hare leverets, and here they are. The inspiration was a photo that was posted on Bluesky. If you are the photographer - this painting is for you for giving me the inspiration :) #mountainhares #watercolour #inks #landscapepainting

yesterday I spent the full day searching for the solitary mountain hares, this one is an early morning shot one of the first sightings

It is time for…#MammalFactMonday! Most of us associate #MountainHares with uplands. However this would not have always been so!, before the arrival of the non-native #BrownHare, mountain hares were found right across Britain, including in our lowlands! 🐇

Pennine Mountain Hares photographed at Dovestones today in between breaks in the fog, good to see that the wild summer fires haven't severally decimated the population @RSPBDoveStone @HPT_Official @Mammal_Society @RSPB_N_England #mountainhares

Having lunch watching #mountainhares @RSPBDoveStone doesn't get much better than this @GMrecordcentre @RSPB_N_England
