Brown Hares in the Fylde, Lancashire

March 5, 2013:
Brown Hares (Lepus europaeus) are becoming active again (March Hares). Today there was beautiful weather and this not-so-active individual was seen near Pilling. It spent much time sunning itself but also kept a careful watch for predators from a commanding viewpoint by a sparse hedgerow.

Brown Hares are scarce in many parts of the county but this area has a good population.
