Sunday 30th August.

My final stint out in the Alps for 2026.

I had a wander above Chamonix today. You could easily spend a week or more walking the trails above the Chamonix Valley. I caught the end of the last runners coming into town at the end of the UTMB Mont-Blanc .

Tuesday 26th August.

Some more images from the other day of the beautiful wee Mountain Hare Leveret. I was also photographing my favourite, regular, fully grown Mountain Hare, Dóchas. The difference in size between the adult and juvenile's is quite obvious, not just their size. This will probably be the last images with the glorious heather backdrop. The intense purple colours are fading and Autumn is knocking on the door. The transition from the hares Summer pelage to its Autumn pelage is subtle, but if you spend time amongst the mountain hares then it is quite obvious.

Tuesday 25th August.

The only creatures more adorable than our Scottish Mountain hare is a Scottish Mountain Hare Leveret. Over the last 3 days I have been photographing this wee beautiful mountain hare leveret. It's been an absolute privelage to find this wee animal on my local mountain where I have been venturing for the last 12 years. The hares can have two or more litters per year. Back in June I was photographing another wee cutie. This hare was born quite late on in the summer. I am guessing by its size he or she is around 3-4 weeks old.

I laid on the ground for over 1 hour in its company. You now whe the hares are completely at ease with humans when they just go about their normal, daily routine of stretching, yawning, scratching, cleaning and mostly just lazing about.

Here are a few images from day 1.

Wednesday 26th August.

A fabulous 3 days of photographing the beautiful mountain hares. Highlight being a wonderful wee leveret. Absolutely over the moon to see and photograph these tiny hares.

On the hill the first signs of Autumn. I love the Autumn, especially the changing colours and much cooler mornings with crisp air.

Stay tuned for the mountain hare leveret images tomorrow .

Tuesday 18th August.

Yet another fabulous couple of hours with the beautiful Dochas. The heather now losing its vibrant colours. But the Autumn will bring stunning colours as the Mountain Hares start morphing into their subtle Autumnal markings. In the meantime Dochas and her pals are enjoying a variety of grasses to nibble on.
