Mountain hares boxing – This is another image from a sequence that I posted a separate image from several months ago. It remains the most explosive piece of boxing behaviour that I’ve witnessed in my 17 years of working with these astonishing mammals and I am acutely aware of how lucky I was that it happened right in front of us. I say us as I was working alongside my good friend and brilliant young wildlife photographer @kevmorgans (well worth a follow if you don’t already) and it was I think our very last day in the mountains. Though this is a hefty crop from the original this flexibility stems from the importance of being able to produce razor sharp images, thereby allowing us to, on occasion, crop in quite tightly of interesting behavioural images. Of course the downside of cropping in is that the viewer is now fully able to see the alert appendage of a mountain hare, coiled like a spring but nevertheless this is at least to some people quite interesting. If you didn’t think when you woke today that at some point today that you would see the penis of a mountain dwelling lagomorph then you can count yourself very lucky, because you have now! ? Cropping in more tightly also allows us to see in more detail their spectacular feet, not to mention the various bits of airborne hare hair, itself stemming from the females’ vociferous rejection of the males advances. It’s not long now until I return to the Scottish mountains but with winter failing to arrive so far it is unknown as to what conditions I will be faced with. Either way, any day spent in the beauty and isolation of the Scottish mountains, and in the company of these beautiful creatures, is a day well spent.
