I know the hares were shot off around Earsdon way back, but cross the road to Holywell it was different altogether, last time I seen one over there was about four year ago now, shame because the habitat is great for them, seen one at first light last year on the Blyth fields, the east cramlington hares were shot off, never run over there these days, I'd rather re stock the place, nice area for walking
Rising sun at Wallsend was full of hares as well, The cafe was called the leaping hare at one time
I know what you mean, majority of places I go is all hares and roe
