Wildlife photographers can be very fickle creatures. If we are photographing any of hare/rabbit family (lagomorphs) then the ideal is preferably to have both ears fully upright, with bright, wide awake eyes and an alert posture. Often times however the animal in question doesn’t follow the preferred script and there is no bigger culprit for this ‘not playing ball attitude’ than the uber-relaxed mountain hare. I found this one high in Scotland’s Monadhliath mountains and I was immediately drawn to how her bright white pelage contrasted so starkly with the reddish hues of her moorland home. As per normal I spent an age getting close to her, capturing images as I went and all the time acclimating her both to my presence and the sound of my shutter. On this occasion though I did too good a job as this super-chilled ball of fluff wasn’t about to put her ears up any time soon. In fact it would probably have taken something as dramatic as a low flying golden eagle to elevate her above a state of almost meditative calmness. As it turned out however it only takes one little micro gesture, one charming expression to transform an image, especially if it has anthropomorphic qualities (applying human emotions to animals) such as what now appears to be a ‘whistling’ hare. My wife would describe this hare as ‘goonish’, a label that she frequently attaches to me, and whilst I’d ordinarily prefer for the hare to have her ears up the slightly spherical nature of her posture, and of course her priceless expression means that I still really like the image as is!
