For the last few years I have spent springtime in the mountains of central Norway, photographing mountain hares, Lepus timidus, in the upland birch forests. These are shy, cautious animals, and with good reason – they are highly coveted by predators and a popular target with human hunters.
Mountain hares are nocturnal – even in the mating season, most activity occurs under cover of darkness. However, in May, when days are long, chances are better to observe the hares in daylight. At this time of the year, they are changing their white winter coat, that provides the perfect camouflage in the snow-covered landscape, to brown-colored fur for the summer. This image was made with a remote controlled camera and wide-angle lense, capturing the hare in its natural environment, the mountain birch forest.
