Hares

Post by paul b »

According to press reports hares are in even more danger of a population crash because of the spread of Myxomatosis to them

Although posting on here about sighting of hares is rightly discouraged given persecution of them, personally I think notifying of any seen with RHD symptoms would be useful, to inform about whether the local hare population has cases of it.
Unfortunately I never see any on my walks but it seems the mosslands to the west are their strongholds in our area.
