Glenshee and other Scottish skiing areas have been suffering from intermittent snow conditions due at least partly to climate change. Mountain hares with white winter coats become quite obvious in these conditions, although their tendency to run away quickly and disappear behind the nearest convex slope still makes it a challenge to photograph them!
