We are always happy to receive information about any unusual hare sightings. Whether you witness interesting or unusual behaviour, or see an abnormally coloured hare, you can share your sightings, photos and videos by emailing us at info@hare-preservation-trust.co.uk.
Please also tell us if you see abnormally high numbers of dead hares. Unusual mortality events should be reported to the Government’s Animal & Plant Health Agency (APHA) as part of their ongoing wildlife disease surveillance.
We are not currently collecting general sightings of brown hares for population surveys, but you can become involved in this by using one of several apps which feed directly into the UK’s Biological Record Centre (BRC). Information submitted via apps such as iRecord or iNaturalist then contributes to important national recording schemes.
