April is a great time to watch Hares, the day are getting longer and the fields although green are still short. I have added series of photos taken in the April spring light.

I often see a Brown hare, usually alone, out on one of the wide Suffolk fields
where I live. However, Hares need shelter to rest during the day and to hide
their young when they are small and helpless.

Halls farm in Norton Suffolk is one of the best places I know to see Brown
Hares; it is not unusual to see large numbers on the Halls Farm fields. This
is because Robert and Steve Honeywood, as well as running a profitable arable
farm, also actively encourage wildlife. 10% of the farm is not used for crop
production and is actively managed to encourage wildlife. The 10% of the
farm managed for wildlife allows the hares to thrive.

The photographs on this page will follow the Brown Hares of Halls farm through the year. I will show a series of images showing them in different seasons.
