Brown Hares in the Derbyshire Dales by Christine Gregory

Brown Hares in the Derbyshire Dales by Christine Gregory

Brown Hares in the Derbyshire Dales by Christine Gregory is a written and photographic celebration of one of the Peak District's most secretive and enigmatic animals. Meticulously researched and beautifully illustrated with over 100 photographs, this book gives an insight into the life, habitat and history of a much loved, yet threatened, species.

'It features wonderful images of the hares themselves, a testimony to the author's patience, fieldcraft and expertise as a photographer.. Underlying the photography, the text carries a powerful conservation message, emphasising the importance of habitat diversity, for the hares and for the rest of the associated wildlife.' Dr Derek Yalden, Mammal News
'Christine Gregory's book is a worthy addition to the tradition of natural history writing. It is scientifically accurate, well-written and a homage to an animal Christine is clearly fond of.' Jim Dixon, Chief Executive, Peak District National Park Authority
