Hare today - Gone Tomorrow?

[Taraxacum]

Hares seem to be very scarce these days. Have we any left in Caithness? I have not seen one this year. They are most visible in the Spring early mornings, but I have not even seen any then. Has anyone any news of them?

Last hares I saw in Caithness was two of them near north Watten about 3 years ago

I wouldn't be too specific in areas in case anyone is looking to course them, illegal I know but I am told it still goes on which could explain the lack of numbers.

Yesterday around lunchtime, having a cuppa while looking out the glass door, I was delighted at watching a young hare meandering over the grass. Not fully grown but not a baby either.........He/she ate some flaked barley that was for the hens before turning and going back over the field.

there are a few about, great to see, but yes they are scarce, modern farming and loss of habitat i fear has put paid to a lot of them
