House sparrow on a frosty morning

I confess I love the photo, I could have chosen one with the sparrow facing forwards, but the fanned tail and gorgeous plumage of the wings shows the bird off beautifully.

Mountain Hare Leveret in Heather

Mountain hare (lepus timidus) leveret that I've named "Speedy" (because he outran a dog who decided to chase him), grazing on the summer foliage on the hillside. A wonderful little hare, it's been a joy following him these past few weeks.

Crested Tit, Black Isle

Quite possibly my favourite of all the many crestie images I've taken!

Mountain Hare Leveret Grooming

This mountain hare (Lepus timidus) is cleaning its back paw by licking it. Mountain hare (lepus timidus) leveret who has just cleaned his back paw sticking his tongue out and looking cheeky! This is a hare I know as Goldie due to the fact its form is carpeted in little golden flowers. A fab hare, bags of personality.

Cheeky little leveret

Leveret found on my first trip back up to see the mountain hares after the lockdown restrictions were eased.

Rabbit

This was one of the first photographs I took with the Tamron 150-600mm lens. It was a balmy evening, so I popped down to my local park and came across a few rabbits grazing. This one picked up the feather and looked straight at me - it's my favourite photograph of 2016!

Courting Hares

These two snuggled together before a little fighting and then they mated. The one on the right is "Fidget", the one on the left possibly "Luigi".

Tiny Tim, Mountain Hare Leveret

The first time I caught a glimpse of this wonderful little hare it was tiny - the smallest I've ever seen. Sadly it disappeared into its form and didn't come back out. I've since spent time with it on three occasions. Very timid (hence the name) but gorgeous!!
