Hare today gone ...

Having spent quite a while in Berkshire Wilts etc where Hares were incredibly numerous and also men with lurchers , I was told and it seemed to be true that Hares do not thrive where there is stock. Their main strongholds are in arable land , therefore very little of our area is attractive to them . With increased pressure from intensive farming of livestock its a wonder we have any hare's at all I suppose!
