Danger from Above


The larger wild birds of prey everywhere take their toll of hares. In Britain, Brown hares are at risk from the likes of hen harriers, buzzards, and goshawks, while Mountain hares also have golden eagles to contend with. In other countries there are many species of birds of prey, including large owls such as the Great Grey and the Snowy owl in northern regions, and the eagles and buzzards of Africa, India, and the Americas.
