This soggy hare sends a spray of water droplets into the air as it shakes itself dry after a soaking in the Scottish Highlands. The soaked mountain hare was spotted in the Cairngorm National Park in Scotland.
Wildlife photography guide Karen Miller said, “Mountain hares don’t use burrows, so they are always outside whatever the weather. Most of the time it was just sitting and looking around but every so often it would shake off the water before settling down again.”
“I spent five hours with this hare. I have photographed it before over the past two years so knew it would be approachable. You have to approach slowly with regular breaks so it realises you are not a threat.”
“There is something very endearing about seeing a soggy hare. It is also a testament to how these animals have to survive while on the hills.”

Hen harriers’ friend: gamekeeping turns conservation in Yorkshire. Grouse moors are not known for being friendly places for birds of prey – but the Swinton estate has a fresh attitude
Gamekeeper Gary Taylor on the Swinton Estate, near Ripon in North Yorkshire. The Swinton Estate is procatively protecting wild Hen Harriers and encouraging the wild birds to breed and flourish on their estate, with Gamekeeper Gary Taylor employing various techniques to ensure they dont predate the red grouse. There is currently a Hen Harrier roost on the moorlands of the estate which is rare as most estates adopt a policy of persecuting wild birds to protect the grouse moors.The hen harrier is one of Britain’s most endangered birds because of illegal persecution. England has upland habitat suitable for more than 300 breeding pairs of hen harriers but in 2013 there were none. The raptors take red grouse and conservationists accuse the grouse moor industry of killing hen harriers. But the hen harrier’s prospects are brightening. This year, 24 successful hen harrier nests in England fledged 84 chicks, the highest number since records began in 2002. Nineteen of those nests were on grouse moors.

There is currently a Hen Harrier roost on the moorlands of the estate which is rare as most estates adopt a policy of persecuting wild birds to protect the grouse moors.The hen harrier is one of Britain’s most endangered birds because of illegal persecution. England has upland habitat suitable for more than 300 breeding pairs of hen harriers but in 2013 there were none. The raptors take red grouse and conservationists accuse the grouse moor industry of killing hen harriers. But the hen harrier’s prospects are brightening. This year, 24 successful hen harrier nests in England fledged 84 chicks, the highest number since records began in 2002. Nineteen of those nests were on grouse moors.
