Hi,
has anybody been to Lyme Park to see the march Hares? If so, is there a particular part of the park which is best?
Thanks!
Nick

I have been to Lyme Park (just the once last year), but wasn't aware of it's hare pedigree. It was good for pied flycatchers though and looks ideal for lesser spotted woodpeckers. I'll look out for the hares next time I go. Mind you, it does get very busy, so early would be best.
Regards, Chris |

Regards, Chris | Hi - it's interesting what you said about the woodpeckers - what is it that makes the park ideal for them?
