In foggy weather I explored an upland site where the Mountain hare (Lepus timidus) occurs. First up was a very obliging Kestrel (Falco tinnunculus) and after some walking through the mist the first hare was spotted. It too was very obliging and allowed for a very close approach. The previous evening some Common frogs (Rana temporaria) and Palmate newts (Lissotriton helveticus) were moving around.
