Brown Hare Lepus europaeus 

The Brown Hare (Lepus europaeus) is one of Britain’s most charismatic mammals, famous for its speed, keen senses, and the boxing displays of spring. After significant declines across much of England through the twentieth century, it has received increased conservation attention. Suffolk’s landscape – with its extensive cereal farmland, field margins, and open countryside – supports some of the better hare populations in eastern England, with the Breckland and arable river valleys particularly notable. Providing uncropped field margins, reducing disturbance during the levereting season, and maintaining areas of rough grassland all support populations across the county.
