THE month of March, they say, roars in like a lion and creeps out like a lamb. It isn’t either lions or sheep I most associate with this often wet and windy month but hares.
We have two types of hare in Britain, one is the mountain hare (Lepus timidus), with a population well under half a million. It lives in Scotland and the north of England and if the weather is snowy enough in winter its fur turns white.
And there is a subspecies of the mountain hare called the Irish hare (Lepus timidus hibernicus) which is found only in Ireland.
