APRIL SHOWERS (OF SNOW)

Another fine day for Mountain Hare photography
Coire an Lochain 
The locals outnumbered climbers in the Northern Corries today
Twin Burns area
Mountain Hare still in their winter pelage
April showers
Reindeer enjoying the cold conditions
Enjoying the sun
More winter like than most of February
Graupel

Typical April skies
Wonderful eyes
The temperatures on the tops were well below freezing today. A lovely clear skies morning with no wind in the corries. Nice conditions for more wildlife photography. The ptarmigan are just into their Spring plumage but the Mountain Hare are hanging on with their winter pelage. Getting to know one character in particular recently. Seems quite photogenic and happy with close quarters, another hour of photographing in the sun and sitting on dry ground. There were showers of snow in the afternoon, with graupel thrown in. Staying in winter mode for the rest of this week. A big dump of snow coming tomorrow.
