Lepus europaeus

Brown Hare |
|
|
The Brown Hare, sometimes called European Hare, is quite
easy to distinguish from a rabbit. It is larger and
lighter coloured with long ears tipped with black.
They can run very fast when disturbed.
These hares live in the field bordering on to our garden
at the front. They often venture into the garden and
have even been seen "boxing" each other in springtime -
an activity which inspired the phrase "Mad as a March
Hare".
