The Brown Hare
On a farm in Hertfordshire, Lionel Kelleway gets close encounters with boxing hares and meets Gill Turner who knows many of the hares individually.
18/18. We all know about the myth of the Mad March Hare, but what is the background to it? Is there any biological reason for the name? Lionel Kelleway meets Gill Turner, who has observed the behaviour of brown hares for the last 15 years to explore this question. Together, they marvel at the antics of the brown hare - one of the first signs of Spring - on a very special farm in Hertfordshire.
Presented by Lionel Kelleway
Produced by Polly Procter.
