Brown Hares

I have been watching the local brown hare populations here in the Scottish Borders for a number of years. To study these little mammals you need to put the hours in. Over the  last few weeks the crops in the fields I have been watching have been getting a little deep. This means the hares will move on into another fields which have only just been planted but has the succulent shoots that the hares like to feed on,  So the field I refer to and has had little or no activity in it most of the year, now has hare activity as the crops grow, the hares have moved into this field to feed.
